Hi there.

I'm asking this on behalf of my partner who was diagnosed with Aspergers when she was younger.

Sometimes she reports this feeling in her head that she describes as being like static and really uncomfortable. Most of the time she has had this feeling its been a a time with lots of people around but not all of the times are in highly social conditions. Sometimes they are sporadic but she still reports that it feels like lots of people trying to get her attention and she doesn't know how to respond. It confuses me as it often seems to be unrelated to whats happening but I dont want to be doing anything that is making her feel bad but she cannot really say what it is that triggers it.

I guess what I'm asking is does anyone else feel this? It seems like a sensory overload type thing but with social stimuli rather than sensory stimuli but she does has some sensory processing stuff too. The fact is eve when there's not a lot of people around she has it and describes it as feeling like theres too much social expectation and it makes her brain got staticky and hard to focus. Anyone know anything like this or have some resources?

Thanks.
