I only just realized I have several sensory sensitivities
I can't tell whether these sensory sensitivities fall into ADHD, autism or both, but what I do know for certain is that the heightened emotional response I get to these things feels beyond what a normal reaction would be.
Coffee slurping? Absolutely can't stand it. The sound of plastic bottles scrunching? Omg no. Or even listening to audio on speaker from someone else's phone in the background is horrible. If I eat something that requires my hands like a wrap and it starts to fall apart and get messy, I get SO IRRITATED.
Can anyone else relate? Please enlighten me on whether this is a neurodivergent thing and, if so, what type exactly? I'm a diagnosed ADHDer but have speculated AuDHD tbh.
