Its odd, cause youre not the first one to suggest that dx. My uncle, who has been a nurse at the state mental hospital for as long as Ive been alive, said the same thing. He also thinks I should be tested for Aspergers. Hes been pretty sure about the autism since I was a child. But until these past 20 years, no one outside of the med community has been aware of it. Ive always thought I could have a sensory disorder myself. Im gonna find a new pdoc and ask them to test me for it. My panic attacks are mainly triggerd by 3 things, the hypersensitivty I described above, ptsd & hypochodriasis . I dont have ptsd flahbacks too often and my hypochondriasis comes & goes. The senory overloads happen on a constant basis. I cant drive. Or go to stores or any get-together. When I do I get extremely overwhelmed and just break out in hives from severe anxiety. If I test positive for it, how is it treated? Cause if I can figure this out, it would greatly improve my life.
