Your sensory integration nightmare?

Post Reply New Topic

Yuck-o-rama! I hate that! Soggy toast makes me heave, as well as when you get 'toast' that hasn't even been properly toasted! I used to hate that when I was growing up. And I can't believe that people still put tinned tomatoes and baked beans on toast, just to make the bread go soggy and horrible. Also, I hate that slimey stuffyou get with bacon - the white bit on the outside - used to make me heave.

My real problem with sensoy integration is when I get noises like Sirens going off when I am trying to hear someone speak. I don't even like sirens when I am not talking to anyone; I hate them in fact.

Also, trying to talk to someone wen there are loads of other people talking at the same time. I hate that as well. I have now got a Sony Minidisc Player, so I don't have to put up with it anymore.

These days, I use my portable music player to try to block out all the noises I hate, which is OK unless the noises outside become to loud to block out.

You;- oww it hurts
NT’s;- your weird

Sensory – of the senses eg touch, smell.
Integration – the ability to combination proply

Hot summers day the water mister is out and being played with where is Aj. Hiding that’s where, its not the water mister but people spray so randomly and with out care. Left hand wet right hand is so painful and its not like u can run it under a tap that would not feal the same (I have big evenness issues)

Old modal vacuum’s, TV’s on stand by, my car win screen it has lots of pit marks and about 5, 6 ish the light is shining just right that I can not see it is so blinding even with sunnies I will stop now but I have a lot

I can't eat the white bits of bacon, either. I used to pick those off as a kid. I remember my grandma saying that, during the Depression, her family ate a lot of fat-back. When she told me it was a lot like the white parts of the bacon I won't eat, I looked like this: O__o

I guess you'll eat anything when you're poor and hungry, but still....Ewwwww.....

Eggs...

Not sure if this is to do with Sensory Integration... but I've had many troubles with eating eggs over the years... as an infant I loved them, any which way.
As a child I couldn't eat them scrambled...as I got older I could only eat them scrambled... Now I can eat them any way I like...

The sound that the television makes when it's on, but there's no sound. To my ears, it sounds kind of like the Nazgûl's scream (if you've ever seen LotR).

I also hate the way perfume and other artificial scents smell, like smelling candles. That's bad.

I also dislike it when people touch me, except for on the rare occasion that I initiate it. At school, someone asked me if it would be alright if they sneaked up behind me and gave me a hug, and I just gave them an evil look.

Currently, my ears are ringing (possibly from that hydrogen explosion yesterday in chem) from the TV because it's on right now... in another room.

1. Green beans. Even the smell of them is abhorrent to me. Once when I was 3 and at day care, they served a bowl of green beans with lunch and it was a rule we had to finish everything, or at least most of it, and I utterly refused. And so the worker told me I was to sit at the lunch table until I finished them. I tried moving them around in my bowl to create a space in the middle and showed her as if I'd eaten some but she didn't believe me. So, I sat there at the lunch table until my mother came to pick me up around 3 or so and she chewed them out for making a 3-year-old sit at a table that long. I left that preschool for another one not long after due to that little incident.

2. Oily skin. My oily skin is bad enough. But having to touch someone else's is ARGH!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!

3. Cleaning cat litter. Though I still have to do it. The smell of the litter bothers me more than the crap, etc., in it.

4. Plain white walls/room during heightened anxiety. I don't do well with brighter colors while anxious. I am most comforted by dark wood colors and dark blues and reds and greens. I only use the lightbulbs which produce a more yellow light in my apartment. I once bought one of those long-lasting lightbulbs and I tried it for a day and then took it back out of the lamp because it produced much whiter light than the typical light bulbs I used before. It's now currently sitting on top of my desk.

5. Wearing tight clothes. 'Nough said.

6. CIGARETTES!! !! !! !! I react very badly to cigarettes. Not only do I not like them, they give me headaches and either make my sinuses run or dry out my sinuses to the point of them becoming raw and sore.

There's plenty more than just these. Mainly food, tactile issues with anything wet other than water, smell, and some color/shade sensitivities with keeping me calm or getting me back down to calm.

i notice that sound too- although it doesn't bother me. however, my computer makes a horrible noise that sounds like high-pitched morse code. some days i don't notice it (some times i seem to be more sensitive than other times) but it would be interesting to know if anyone else's computer makes barely-audible squealing noises like mine does.

Ugh, almost had to get off the thread because of the many nasties described...

I have straightening gel I put in my hair, and if I don't wash it off my hands, it feels awful. A couple of times I have forgotten and gone out and my hands started to sweat... it was so slimy!
All I could think of was looking for water.
My sister got a bucket of "Slime" when we were younger and I could not bear to have it anywhere near me. Not only the consistency bothered me, but the smell too. She knew this and would torture me with it at any opportunity...cruel sister.

Beach sand bothers me a bit because of the way it grinds. Then it is so hard to brush off, like it sticks on purpose. It's a conspiracy I tell you!!

Stainless steel. I have a hard time eating with metal utensils and therefore, use chopsticks more often than not, regardless of whether or not the food is appropriate for chopsticks.

Cigarrettes, like Sophist mentioned. Also, the way cheese smells, no matter what kind of cheese it is. Contrary to what bothers a lot of other people I know (parmesan), cheddar is the worst for me.

The colour pink. I don't know why, but pink just bothers me. Dark blue, dark green and black are comfortable colours to wear, no matter what the style of clothing is. I could be wearing a black turtleneck one day and be just fine, and someone will go out and buy me a pink one (exactly like it, only pink), and I can't stand wearing it. I don't know why...

- The taste or smell of mint
- The hissing sound of a brush being used to clear a chalkboard. Agh!

Almost all the ones listed bug me.

I used to hate the sound of a dial-up modem making a connection.
Listen to it here: http://www.lazylaces.com/56Kmodem/

Now I kind of enjoy it, because it has a nostalgic quality to it. (I have broadband now.)

my new computer did something like that one day, an intermittent squeaky sound after it had been on a lot. even though the squeak was quieter than the fan noise, it was far more annoying.

fortunately it hasn't done it since, good job it hasn't or else it would have got thrown out the window!

I can't stand opening those cans that have those rolls in them that you just pop in the oven. No matter how I try to prepare myself, the pop gives me a major startle reaction.

Also, the texture of jello, and the feel of velour.

Yeah that can be a pain. Sort of high pitch ringing in your ears.

My mum thought it was amazing that I could tell the TV was on, wven when it looked like it's off.

I guess not everyone hears it.

My parents didn't/don't believe me... Partly because I used to hear similar noises and say "There's a TV on somewhere" even though there was no TV on...
