I am an adult with SPD with lots of problems with clothes. I will become non-functional with certain materials touching my skin. They hurt so much that they overwhelm my mind and my body just shuts down until someone else can get the "bad" clothes off me. People may think I am spoiled, but *bleep* them. If it isn't 100% cotton then I can't do anything, so I pay extra to make sure all my clothes and undergarments are truly 100% cotton.

My skin is so sensitive that just with a light touch of my fingers (less than 5 seconds) I can tell you almost the exact composition of any material just one the types of pain I am in and the magnitude of the pain. The only problem with this is my fingers swell up and hurt if I do this too much. So when I clothes shop I try to only test the clothes that look the most like 100% cotton, since I only get 10 mistakes (fingers) before I have to stop looking for clothes. Once a finger has a reaction it is useless for further cloth testing.

Sometimes clothing labels say one thing, but my fingers always end up being right.

Adults definitely thought my parents were spoiling me when I was a child. At least I wasn't a clothes horse so although my clothes were expensive I didn't want a ton of new clothes all the time.

Shoes were a different expensive nightmare, although they are even worse to shop for as an adult than they were as a child. The wrong shoe goes on my foot and I have to keep myself from screaming from the pain in public. I am 34 years old and that is very embarrassing. What is the most likely though is I put the shoes on and then I become completely non-responsive. I can't even blink until someone else takes off the shoe.
