Sensory Awareness Month Post 1

It is Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) Awareness Month! Throughout the month I am going to post random sensory challenges to help you better understand the world individuals with sensory processing difficulties live with each and every day.
 
Today's Challenge: Replace the tags in all your clothes with a piece of sandpaper. One of the reasons individuals with sensory challenges get so distracted by things like tags in their clothes is that their body does not properly filter out information/input that the rest of us take for granted. Personally, I never feel the tags in my clothes, but what if I did? That each and every day, my entire day was spent with something rubbing against my neck and waist to the point of distraction? Would it be difficult to concentrate on everything else? Probably.
