Ive finally after 4 years got my inital assessment. They already spoke to my parents over the phone for 2 hours so i guess they think theres something there worth looking into.
I have a question about hypersensitivity. So i dont like certain foods because of the texture like jelly or banana. So i avoid those and i believe i have hypersensitive smell as i can often smell someones perfume before i can even see them and find it unbearable. I also get very very bad noise hypersensitivity. Which - this is going to be hard to explain - but i take a step back. Like i let someone else drive. Its so hard to explain but its pretty much as if im letting my body take over and carry out whatever it needs to do whilst my brain just disappears for a while. The same thing happens when im in crowds and even though people arent near me it feels like im constantly being touched even though i can physically see that im not. Like the wind when someone walks past makes me feel like they are touching me and barging me out the way or pushing me but they arent.
Everything apart from the texture thing comes and goes though. I dont have hypersensitive smell, touch or smell the time but id say maybe twice a week. Sometimes more dependant on crowds and stuff. Is this an autistic thing or just a normal thing? Ive never actually discussed it with anyone.
Tia.
