My hypersensitivity is becoming a problem in the sense that I'm always in pain and unable to tolerate light. My doctor is aware of this and how bad it is and after extensive tests she agreed it's autism related and now it's sort of like 'Well, good luck with life...' and I've been left to deal with it on my own.
I don't work, I tried but the stress led to a breakdown and hospitalisation which led to unnecessary medication - not a nice situation to have been. I spend all my time at home, usually in bed reading my Kindle - I like to dabble in art and painting - is a good way of expressing how I'm feeling and painting some colour in to what's otherwise a grey world.
I've inquired about my hypersensitivities with a lot of different people now - including professional organisations - but literally no body cares or wants to help or know. I feel in it alone. I feel like I'm existing in this world but not living - I just read and watch movies and listen to music - from day to night, the same cycle every day.
I've had enough and it's frustrating me now. I've looked for professional support but there's none - hopefully being here will help me instead.
Claire.
