Reactions to shouting

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 ?

  • I can deal with a lot things. I don't like things like sirens from police/ambulance/fire but I deal with it, knowing shortly they will be gone. Of couse there not doing it annoy me and there is good and reasonable reason why there are doing this.

    I get same issues when people are shouting. I find it difficult to process what they are saying. I can process it but there is extended delay.

    What makes very angry is when people are shouting and claping there hands when making a point. I just want to push them to ground. It hurts so much. (I dont do it, but so much want to) ie

    You where meant to go shops << clap >>
    and get some some bake beans << clap >>
    But you didn't do that << clap >>
    You went to shops << clap >>

    etc.
