| Yep for me it's sensory overload too, the people the low humming noise of their conversations and movments, their constant bombardment of my personal space, the noise too that invades my personal space, it's like an assault on my senses. |

| Hi littlelilly, I just took the Aspie-quize and printed it off, I am going to look into if further. Id love to find a support group in my area.
