I think probably my mother but with a lot of other stuff going on.
However, if so she was under sensitive to noise etc which, from my reading of this forum, is more unusual to 'over'sensitivities.
It could have been my father.
The jury is out (and always will be as they are both deceased).
How about you?
Since my daughter was diagnosed and I was told there could be a genetic element, which led to a much better understanding of myself, I have occasionally wondered about my own parents. I think I see some behaviours and patterns in both of them, but they also might have so much life experience now that they just carry on as normal, perhaps not even realising themselves there could be anything there.
I always thought I was most like my mum because we were both the quiet, bookish ones in the family, whereas my dad was the sporty, sociable one, we didn't share a lot of interests together. I've now realised I'm more like my dad than I thought - we both don't want to give up on a problem until it is solved, we're both really skilled in our fields of work and want a job done properly.
One thing I do find funny now (more embarrassing growing up) is that my dad LOVES to talk about all the construction projects he's worked on in his life. He will even pull out his phone and show photos to people of all the buildings he's helped complete. I find it funny now because he's completely oblivious to whether the other person is actually interested too or just being polite! He's just proud of his work, but I can definitely see something in that too
