Today I feel like this is what an autistic child must feel like, all sound sounds like screaming and all light is blinding, my body is buzzing and everything just seems exaggerated. I want to hide under the blankets but I can't handle anything on my skin either. It feels like my skin is sunburned. Everything just hurts. When someone talks or the tv is on, it's like a lightning strike going through my head..It feels like sound is electricity coursing through my ears.
When I worked at a group home for mentally challenged men, many who were autistic, I remember they couldn't handle noise, light, sound or any kind of activity. That is how I feel today.
I feel like a "neuro basketcase."
