What is your biggest sensory issue?

For me, it's sound. I struggle so much with noise, particularly unwanted music. I struggle in supermarkets and cafes.

In the house, it's usually quiet. We don't have a TV and we wear headphones if we're watching something on our devices so we don't disturb each other. My home is very peaceful.

I also struggle with feeling too hot and with my clothing feeling uncomfortable. Sometimes, I let myself get too cold because I can't face putting more clothing on then getting too hot. It's a constant struggle.

What do you all struggle with?

Cannot stand the sound of babies crying. Have walked out of shops, pubs, friends' houses for this reason more than any other

Same here.

I can not comprehend how on earth this is supposed to prompt a comfort/soothe response. It's like nails down a board to me, and I desperately, desperately need to be as far away from the source as quickly as possible.

Same. I can handle DS (who was never much if a cryer anyway) but any other baby is just nails down a chalkboard to me. We had a relative who's child just communicated by what felt like constant high pitched shriek for the first 2.5 years of his life and I found him unbearable to be around. I felt like such a bitch, but I just couldn't cope.

Mine is the horrific interplay between heat/cold, sweat, and the feel of clothes on my skin.

Every outside walk is a palaver of putting on and taking off coats because I can't stand to be cold - it makes me panic wildly - but after a few minutes walking I sweat, which means I can feel the fabric abrading my skin, and the moisture on my back/chest/arms makes me panic and feel sick. I am always anxious and uncomfortable and the temperature is never quite right. Poor DH always carries a rucksack now so that he can carry my coat for me and any other layers, depending on where we're going. I could and would carry it myself but he's a sweetie.
