For me it's noise. Going to a public place with small children can be torture. My go-to is to leave or go somewhere quiet. I even carry earplugs with me to shut out all the noise in the world.
I have found that "hypersensitivity" is a word that sums up a lot of Asperger-related things in an understandable way. It is a stigmatized word, especially for (heterosexual) men like myself. However I have come to the conclusion that true manliness is all about accepting your repressed sensitive side so that you can become more whole as a person. So, many people may feel uncomfortable as I speak about Asperger's this way but the truth supports me.
Hi Aron. I know exactly how you feel. I'm 42 yrs old and have recently, in the last 8 months realized i'm on the spectrum. I too have been an actor all my life. My discovery of my own ASD was a 42 year journey all my life knowing that i'm different but didn't know how. I've researched the BPD, BD, ADHD, SCHIZOPHRENIA, you name it, i've researched it trying to find answers. Trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with me. When I was young I would, literally in my head, say "I must be an Alien from another planet". I did not understand what anyone was doing. The social dance that makes absolutely no sense. I've managed to work in Computer Networking off and on and just now, with this epiphany moment of understanding my whole life's struggle, figuring out what works best for me. I don't use epiphany lightly. I know, even 7 or 8 month into it, am finally understanding my life and why it has been so difficult for me. Your videos are great and are an missing addition to online RU-vid Aspie experience. Thanks!
Sutherland Seals thanks for taking the time to comment. Sounds like we have had similar paths and are taking the same journey. All the best and feel free to message me anytime 👍🏼
Thank you for these videos, Aron. I've watched them all so far and they have really helped me. I experience most of these traits and am waiting to be assessed.
Barry Wright thank you for watching it’s meant these videos weren’t a complete waste of time 😀, I wish you all the best and hope things start making sense for you real soon 😊
