I don’t know that I “cycle” either, my ex bf’s mother once made a comment or asked a question about that , and I didn’t identify .

I’ve had a few diagnosis in my lifetime, autism or sensory processing difficulties has never been one of them.

There are all kinds of reasons my job is not a good fit for me, the physical environment being one of them, but not the only one.

I think the op was more talking about emotional sensitivity, I kind of took the discussion in a different direction.

I have noticed since I stopped using alcohol and marijuana and got back on medication that my senses are more heightened, interestingly enough, especially my sense of smell.
