Reactions to shouting

Nadielou

Hi, does anyone else ever get told they are over reacting when someone is shouting or raising their voice?

I hate being in the same room when it's not directed at me, but when it is it's even worse. My anxiety levels sky rocket I start to panic and then cry and if the person shouting doesn't stop I seem to explode and just start screaming. 

I find it incredibly hard to think everything just becomes this overwhelming pit of anxiety and then after I just feel so drained I could sleep for days. They don't even have to have raised their voice a lot for it to start

Is this part of being on the spectrum or is his another issue entirely ?

    Good Afternoon to you. Just to let you know that you are not alone, if it helps at all...

    I assume that you mean "this" and not "his"? Regardless of correcting "typos", then you are correct in guessing both. People - NT or ASD - react to each other with different manners. Some increase volume, some increase physical reaction... and some, like myself... simply have to exit/run away whenever it all becomes too much. When pursued, I just run faster.

    In short, I am attempting to add support, here, and apologise if this was not all that helpful. Have a nice day.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I do understand everyone has different coping and reactions, I prob didn't express myself very well.

    But I'm constantly told mine is more then what would be considered normal reactions and this is where I wonder.
