It seems like there are a lot of similarities in behavioral symptoms between Aspergers and Sensory Processing Disorder.



Sounds to me like this is just a description of Autism, being given a different name.

It does. Though, my understanding is that you can have Sensory Processing Disorder, but not be diagnosable for Aspergers (or, using DSM-V, ASD).

You know. All these labels can be so confusing. You take a symptom (“e.g., “talking too loudly”) and it appears to be a symptom of multiple conditions.

Not so much anymore, but every so often I do get told that I'm talking too loudly. And it's very frustrating, because unless I am actually yelling or whispering, I can't really regulate voice tone. (like, if I try to lower my voice, I hear no difference at all, but the other person does)

I used to. My teachers would ask me to lower my voice a little, and my parents would sometimes bring this to my attention. In the past, I don't always notice the volume of my voice, but now I try to control my volume.

I'm like Equestria. When I'm over excited I raise my voice.

I know NT that do the same thing.

No I do not talk to loud but, I have a friend that is not diagnosed AS but, has many of the symptoms of it, does not scream but when I'm telling him sometime private or when it's the appropriate time to Whisper he just can't. I have to always tell him " we can't talk right now" you don't know how to whisper".

Do I talk very loudly? It depends on both my mood and the setting. I talk loudly if I'm at a loud party or in a very happy mood. There have been some instances in which parents and teachers would tell me to lower my voice.

I'm actually the opposite. I talk way too low. My voice is too soft and quiet, plus I mumble, so most of the time people either don't understand me or they misinterpret me.

I've been told that many times. But if I lower my voice, I can't hear myself and I assume this is the same for others. I also have the habit of bursting into a loud laugh, everyone looks at me like I'm crazy, but it's normal for me.

Yes! I have a problem talking too loudly. I'm not sure if it's my Asperger's, something that runs in my family, the fact that I'm 16 years old, or a combination of the three.

I have Asperger's. My mom always tells me I talk too loud and tells me to "shhhhh" all the time. She says I talk so loud it hurts her ears, but I find that hard to believe. I've found that I tend to speak at the same volume no matter the circumstance, which is too loud in many cases. It's hard for me to regulate volume.
