Can anyone relate?
Sorry if this is wrong place to post this question.
Thanks.
Not a problem at all; I'm glad you posted this.
In my own case, TV and radio noises are particularly
troublesome when I'm trying to fall asleep. I've been
known to pull my pillows over my ears to try and block
out noises like those when I'm in bed at night.
(I thought that was a symptom of my own autism spectrum
disorder until I saw your post.)
