I've stopped going to the grocery store because it was so incredibly over whelming. I have 5 kids, coming and going with the older two. But dinner time is ridiculous! Little kids are hungry before the bigs get home. Bigs demand food right away. I have one picky eater. I had turned into a short order cook for two hours. The bickering, the sheer volume of noise with five, it just became so overwhelming, I had to stop. Dad does dinner for the kids while I rest upstairs. Then we eat later, if I feel like eating. <br /><br />I'm just so happy to learn I'm not alone in overstimulation!!<br /><br />This is why I adore your blog. It has helped me so much. I'm in my 7th year of suffering and finally was diagnosed in November. <br /><br />Thank you again for being honest and sharing your tips!Nhmommaof5https://www.blogger.com/profile/10660587580174826827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1190707857355048493.post-67418978516821435802011-01-10T08:47:32.463-08:002011-01-10T08:47:32.463-08:00Loud noises, bright lights really bother me.

My TV isn't real loud either..Rosemary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18413577350795054949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1190707857355048493.post-52679304080369589892011-01-10T08:39:45.031-08:002011-01-10T08:39:45.031-08:00I tend to get my news from the Internet now - it s...I tend to get my news from the Internet now - it seems that since I can click on one article at a time and take my time with each story, it works out better sometimes. I guess it allows me to feel more in control of how quickly information comes in? I don't know, but needless to say, I don't watch TV news much these days. <br /><br />In addition, I get overstimulated by many of the things you do. Too many people talking to me at once makes me feel like a computer must feel when it's just about to crash...LOL ;) I also find loud TV or radio to be "too much." Also, and I don't know if anyone else find this to be true, but I do - I find the quality of the light in a room can affect me intensely. What I mean is this - think about the difference in the "color" of the light coming from a regular lightbulb and the the color of the light coming from a fluorescent light. The fluorescent light really bothers me - I need to have "softer" lighting around me. Of course, fluorescents can buzz, which is beyond annoying for me.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875579867109846625noreply@blogger.com
