I've not been diagnosed with anything - I'm here for my sister - but, I can tell you, sometimes I get freaked out to by too much noise. The mother-in-law story....that's one for me. I literally freak out every time I go there because of all of the yelling - it's not angry yelling - it's just loud and I have to leave before I start yelling at the top of my lungs just to make it quiet for even a few seconds... I shut down once, covered my ears with my hands and closed my eyes and everyone thought I was sick and someone asked what was wrong - it's all the yelling. And I was the strange one....go figure.
I get the same way with my kids - or if someone is trying to play with me it becomes too much for me to handle. And I get agitated and then I'm the cranky one....
It's SO frustrating because it's me that is strange or cranky. When i'm not cranky I just cant handle it.
