Often is talked here about sudden sounds. What about sudden mouvements of other people, even if they do not make any noise ?

I think this is normal but i notice i am more sensitive. I know i flinch/ed a lot. Maybe i am scared afraid delayed or cannot judge reactions well.

You mean there is some time between the sudden movement and the sensation of fear ?

I'm not normally like that but some medications increase my flinching. One of the medications I took for Tourettes made me jump whenever anyone moved.

Sudden movements don't worry me, only sudden sounds do.

Yeah sudden movements startle me as well, but not as much as sudden loud noises. Though it's certainly not just AS related It also has to do with me having PTSD.

Ok. Well in fact, it is linked to some bad experience. Thanks Sweetleaf for making that clear.
