Sensory issues
3 years ago
Have any of yours sensory issues?
I'm constantly overstimulated - bright lights, sounds etc. tend to give me severe headaches and sometimes even migraines with aura and partial paralysis of the face and limbs at one side of the body. I use antiepileptic drugs to control those issues. But I'm still unable to work long hours on commissions, I tire extremely quickly. I am unable to drive a car as there is too much things for me to process, I'm barely able to ride a bicycle and I suffer from frequent crashes and falls. I also can't stand the texture of water - since childhood, water makes me extremely uncomfortable. I can't swim, I bathe/take showers only due to hygienic reasons but it's an always extremely unpleasant sensation for me. Sports activities also made me uncomfortable due to sweating, hotness, air, shouts, smells.
It sucks in general. I'm excluded from many activities I wish I could participate.

It's similar. Autism is not so frequently diagnosed here in Poland, I mean the asperger syndrome/hfa, especially mentioning adults.
