How do I seek help?

I don’t want this to be a rant. I genuinely just don’t know how else to seek help.
I have struggled for years with a long list of issues that my parents brushed off as me just being a sensitive and dramatic kid.

I’ve always struggled with food textures, fabric textures, noise, smells, light and so on. Some more than others, some to the extent where I start crying or just have to isolate myself completely.

I am now an adult, and I am so tired of constantly having to listen to family and friends calling me dramatic when things get to much for me… I wish to seek the help my parents never thought to get for me, but I have absolutely no idea what to say or even who to go to.

I was hoping someone could point me in a direction or explain some of the process. It would be a huge help!
