| Yet again, thank you for your views. (: The waiting list in my country is EXTREMELY long in my country, so I wont be seeing any one anytime soon. But I now see its probably just hypersensitivity to the other senses under the SPD umbrella that I didn't consider before. I was noly diagnosed with the t... |

| "People noises" like chewing, swallowing, coughing, snoring, etc, will make my skin crawl. Over the years I've learned to tolerate some by reminding myself that they will be over soon. But, things like chewing and swallowing and snoring are not necessarily transient and I wish I could say I don't s... |

| You're scared of a lot of things! It could be related to stress. Mental disorders usually becomes worse when you're under stress. No offence, but it sounds a bit like you're trying to make yourself fit the autism term rather than to see if the autism term fits you. Were you born with "people skills... |

| But it seems as far as visual processing goes, you have this aversion to unpredictable/complex patterns? The honeycomb maybe doesn't fit, but it is still rather complex. Perhaps it is too overwhelming for you to visually process these things? Pretty much. It kind of hurts to look at, specifially if... |

| I have this too! I HATE people surprising me with things; which is why I tell my friends, don't buy me presents or whatever, I don't want them. If I was ever in a room... I'd run off too. ;) Luckily, this year for christmas, I have told my mother WHAT I want, exactly, so I am expecting everything. A... |

I have a phobia of horseshoe crabs-
Its COMPLETELY irrational, because not only have I never seen one in my life, I don't live in a country anywhere NEAR them, and its so random!
But they make me sick to look at, and they scare me like hell. XD |

| One to one, I am fine. With new people, surprisingly, I am perfectly alright. But, within groups, I can't stand it; I usually find excuses to not hang out with my group of friends at lunch (which results in me spending hours alone, sadly) and I DON'T attend parties. At all. I am probably going to so... |

| I suffer from SPD, Sensory processing disorder, and have been pretty much all my life. In case you don't know what that is (because many people don't) its a disorder regarding the five senses and the brain not being able to process them properly. Its 'over sensitivty' to touch, basically. As a resul... |

| I'm a 16 year old female from London, looking to find some answers. I was diagnosed with Sensory processing disorder a few months ago, but I've had it all my life, and its been really hard to deal with it lately. Further more, I was told I could have Autism, which leads me here. I don't really have ... |
