A ticker with autism anyone else?

RachelO

Hi everyone, in times when I have been overwhemled like a ticker sound has come on for me and it will come on for me until I stop being overhwhelmed. It happened first for me in 2014 and it happened again in 2025. I want to know if that is a part of autism for any of you? I must say that I have had my autism concreasted and that is the only thing I have done by having it simply blessed at church.. That might not have anything to do with it, but I have not read of it in a single case anywhere else.

Is this common?

  • So you hear a ticking sound when you feel overwhelmed? That sounds horribly anxiety-inducing and I’m sorry you deal with that.

    I haven’t personally heard of anyone else with Autism having that particular issue, but of course, I don’t know everyone lol. I can’t give medical advice, but maybe this is something that you can bring up to your GP to see if they have advice?

    Yes, I do have a ticker come on when I get extremly overwhelmed. I may ask a former OT assessor who saw me for my sensory needs last year in the community if she has ever come across anyone like this.

    Thank you for your reply, it was helpful.
