Re: not coping
i dont really think i have autism but im more curious about the sensory issues.
for example i struggle with loud and overcrowded places and also loud sudden noises or anything high pitched. sometimes i even get overwhelmed watching a movie on the big screen at cinemas.
i also get overwhelmed by certain foods as well especially when theres various textures, smell/scents
i also get overwhelmed by to many various noises and colours. watching a movie like trolls (the kids musical movie) is abit of a struggle when theres alot of colour everywhere and flashing lights and that sort thing.
is this something you experience as well?

Re: not coping
i also cant wear tshirts-only singlets and i cant wear jumpers only jackets. shirts and jumpers literally overwhelm me and i cant stay in them.
im speaking to my psychologist on wednesday via telehealth so i think i might mention it. its becoming more prominent and people are starting to notice around me as well so i think i need to try and work on ways to manage esp in my line of work.
im suppose to wear tshirts but i cant (my boss is ok with unreveiling singlets thank god) and clients are constantly loud as well so its overwhelming
