Other peoples' moods, very sensitive to pain, when I must complete ... a task, loud noises/some loud noises like peoples' voices and motorcycles, high priority to arrange life to avoid... , unpleasant to have a lot going on at once (unable to multitask), notice and enjoy... sounds... art (doesn't EVERYone?), changes in my life... , being very hungry..., unpleasantly aroused when a lot is going on around me , annoyed when people try to get me to do too many things at once, try hard to avoid making mistakes... , getting rattled..., startle easy..., nervous system so frazzled that I have to go off by self, deeply moved by arts or music (again, most people are, to a certain extent aren't they?), rich, complex inner life. This survey has too many questions that are duplicates or nearly so. I don't remember or know what parents or teachers saw me as - nobody ever told ME what they thought... | Melf   | | posted 12-Aug-2008 4:04pm |
I am easily overwhelmed by strong sensory input.
I seem to be aware of subtleties in my environment.
I find myself needing to withdraw during busy days,into bed or into a darkened room or any place where I can have some privacy and relief from stimulation.
I have a rich,complex inner life.
I am made uncomfortable by loud noises.
I am deeply moved by the arts or music.
My nervous system sometimes feels so frazzled that I just have to go off by myself.
I startle easily.
I get rattled when I have a lot to do in a short amount of time.
I try hard to avoid making mistakes or forgetting things.
I am bothered by intense stimuli, like loud noises or chaotic scenes.
I think the reason people often score highly on these tests in the romanticism of the illness. Everyone likes to think they have a complex inner life, everyone wants to be deeply moved by the arts. Also, the opposite of sensitive is insensitive; nobody wants to be insensitive. | LindaH   | | posted 12-Aug-2008 4:21pm |
Most of these. Easier to say what doesn't apply.
I'm not bothered by chaotic scenes unless I'm directly responsible for rectifying them.
I don't like loud noises when I'm working. Totally don't mind them if I am playing.
Changes don't shake me up. I love changes.
I don't startle easily, and I have a wicked mean streak about people who do  (just kidding)
I'm not at all sensitive to the effects of caffeine. I wish. I'm physically tolerant to it. Must have more!
When people are uncomfortable in a physical environment I usually have absolutely no idea what needs to be done to make it more comfortable.
When I must compete or be observed while performing a task, I pretend no one is watching. | | LindaH | | (reply to Melf) posted 12-Aug-2008 4:24pm |
I score high on these because I have sensory integration issues. When I get overwhelmed, I either go off by myself, or I just plain go off.  | | Melf | | (reply to LindaH) posted 12-Aug-2008 7:16pm |

I try so hard to avoid mistakes but gee they happen and nothing i can do about it and forgetting things i have no big issue in forgetting anything because I write it down on paper so that I do not forget. |
