Does anyone have sensory issues?

Does anyone have sensory issues? I had one today in public and was soooo embaresed.

yes, I do too... Sounds can be awful - lights are blinding ( I wear sunglasses inside LOTS, and my regular glasses are tinted pink).. don't get me started on textures....

Anymore, I try not to care.. because the people that care so much I have issues are the very ones I should NOT be caring about!

Keep your chin up.. I know it is hard sometimes... but it means we are super strong people to live the way we live and survive each day

Thanks, that really helped.

I have some audible hearing issues. I can't stand listening to loud music and drilling noises and I am not a fan of pyrotechnics and could never work in construction. The irony is I like going to pubs and bars.
I am noticing a degree of sensitivity to bright lights. I think this might be natural for many non aspies though.

I have trouble with loud noises, although I can deal with music as long as the lyrics aren't being screamed at me. In fact, I like clubs if they have R&B, Pop, Jazz or something mellow.

I can't deal with flashing lights, and I wear sunglasses a lot. Some of that is due to an issue with my corneas though, because I ended up with my contacts stuck to them twice, and they got torn badly enough that they never healed properly. Flashing lights cause me to stem, and eventually I will get a headache.

If I am sick, I have trouble with touch. I don't like being held anyway, and I can't sleep with another person anymore, but it's much worse when I am not feeling well because my skin feels like it's burning without their being a fever. Occasionally, it happens when I am not sick too.

sometime I find it difficult to hear what people are saying to me. because of this for a year in school my nickname was "What", I just learned to read lips helped me allot

Yeah majorly. Light, sound, touch, texture, smell, can't handle too much going on around me. Even bathing can be an ordeal for me because of the sensory issues involved therein.

I think my sensory issues are quite severe, I have met other autistic people who have a much lower level of sensitivity than I do, but of course it varies greatly across the whole spectrum.
