Aaa I know my spelling sucks
Yes I have heard of sensory processing disorder I had a feeling I might have it after reading about it.
I did talk to my Doctor and my counselor but they don't know much I have weird things happen to me a lot of the time so I thought this was one of those things. I can hear a bug if its crawling on the sidewalk and my cats fur moving but things like that have been more intense lately. LOL
I just thought I was losing it. But I always think that.
My mom says I need to go into my room where its quite in tell it clams down.

If I can't do this, then it usually leads to a 'meltdown' where I just feel like the world is about to crash in on top of me and I start really panicking, I lose the ability to speak and if people come near me I freak out completely, hit things, run away etc. My family and friends used to think I had anger issues, turns out I don't, it's because the sensory overload causes our flight or flight responses to become hyper stimulated.
Like I say, half the battle is knowing what you're dealing with. I'd highly recommend reading this blog article, I found it very informative and it helps to identify the warning signs of overload and how best to deal with them.

Thank you so much
so I'm not going nuts. I knew I was having a sensory overload I also think that a quite room would do best my mom told me the same thing over the phone the other day. I will also read the blogs it might help me out.
By the way I just found out this year that I have Asperger syndrome. Me and my family are just happy to know what it is. I thought I might have high functioning Autism. I think I'm glad I don't because I have relatives who have Autism that are not high functioning and its not fun.
