So if someone sniffs ...you think its you that just sniffed...thats a new one on me What about coughing? isit the same.
I know that autism can make you a little obsessed with minor things like that but I think you may need some psychiatric examining. You may find it will go away, and get replaced by something else..like checking that doors are shut over and over again or washing your hands every time you touch something.
Are you the kind who doesnt like change of routine and gets flustered if something new comes along?
All these things can be treated.
There are other things that are related like dyspraxia and ADHD, but see a specialist and the best of luck.
But bear in mind it is a condition and you should recognise that and that alone might make you feel better knowing that you are going to get treatment.

people sniff all the time. maybe they have a stuffy nose or they smelled something good. just becuase they are sniffing doesnt mean thier smelling you! its okay. if you dont already waer deoderant and maybe perfume of bodyspray. that way if ANYONE smells you you'll know its becuase you smell good. even if anyone is sniffing at all you dont half to worry about smelling bad becuase you know you put on deorderant. im sure you even sniff stuff sometimes and you dont even notice. just dont make it your main focus. focus on life and if you do hear someone sniffjust take a deep breath clam down and remeber that you smell fine.

What do you try to do to cure it? If you occasionally blow your nose, even if you don't need to, it shouldn't cause too many problems in public. It sounds like you have agoraphobia, fear of being outside of your home, because of some really serious issues that you haven't mentioned here. I would look into treating agoraphobia.

That's very interesting. My niece is diagnosed with autism, and she sniffs people! For various reasons I did not meet her till she was about seven, and instead of saying anything she sniffed me all over. So I sniffed her back! We now get on quite well!

Maybe they sniff because u smell nice or something. Anyway ask ur friends if they think u stink or smell nice then go out in public and dont let it control ur life just move on. Choose me as best answer please!
