It’s not a sensory issue - I just like wearing socks.

This part feels like you talking about yourself, and everyone agrees.

Not everything needs to be pathologized.

People are taking this as an assertion that sock preference should not be pathologized and cannot be related to ADHD.

Clearly not what you meant, but the phrasing you used is ambiguous enough to not differentiate between "not everything about myself is pathologized" vs "please stop pathologizing everything"
