That used to drive me absolutely insane when I was young. And it was almost always swishy pants. Who'd have thought all that time that it was just someone else's ADHD rubbing mine the wrong way.

Same, I'm way more understanding about it now. I might still need to uxcuse myself or wear headphones but I now completely understand it's not really optional for them.

Same with echolalia. It now understand the person is likely doing this to process information. Even though it fucks with my ability to process what they are saying, I just take a bit more time and we're okay.

I can feel the sound of those pants in my fingernails.
