Sensory Trauma - Want to Know Others Thoughts

So I was looking up sensory trauma and I found that it is something that I deal with and I wanted to know what other Autistics think of it and if it’s something that you’re glad they are bringing to light or if you feel it doesn’t apply to you. Just wanting to see what others think. I personally feel it’s a good thing to be raising awareness about because while things may not be as big of a deal to our fellow neurotypicals it is for us because of how we have a different “wiring” for lack of a better term.

    Yes I completely relate to sensory trauma, school for example is a huge cause of sensory trauma. 

    Below I have linked to a very informative video by Aucademy about sensory trauma:

    School was very traumatic for me as well. I was bullied a lot and all I wanted was for it to stop and it was like no one cared that it was hurting me and my reactions to it were treated much worse than the bullying itself.

    I also suffered at school. School breaks and trips were a nightmare for me. I used to cover my ears and sit alone. Other kids bullied me very eagerly. School trip was something that not only exposed me to horrible noise of all my class laughing and screaming loud in the bus, and bullies, but also disrupted the routine. I wanted to have classes. I cried in silence and repeated in whisper “tomorrow everything will come back to normal” teachers didn’t care, they just pulled me forcefully and put me in the center of the group of screaming kids, I was terrified. I run away with cry and what was the result- all kids laughed at me and bullied me more. I wish they knew what they caused to me.
