Theres nothing really that causes me severe discomfort, well not anymore than anyone else would, its kinda hard to tell to be honest. How do i tell the way something feels or sounds is more discomforting to me than it is anyone else, its not like i can get inside there head and find out. Like for instance i really hate the sound of babies crying, i mean really hate it but i'm sure most people do dont they so can i count that as a hyposensitivity example, who knows i suppose it just must be the really weird ones that count. I do sometimes itch like mad when i get out the shower and put on a shirt, its really annoying and i just gotta scratch like mad also i hate it when i'm in bed and my feet stick out the end of my douvet i cant stand it when the rest of my body is nice and warm and my feet arent.
I suppose hypo's would mean i'm very ticklish but i'm not in fact alot of people are more ticklish than me.Loud noises make me flinch when i know there about to go off but then again that could be something anyone suffers from. The only things i'm pretty sure are hypo's are my hate for some textures in foods and finding it almost impossible to concentrate on two things at once. Anyway this post i suppose is more of a question, how does one with Autism tell if sensitivities to pain, sound, smell or light are actually sensitivities and not just something everyone suffers?
