“Yeah. And it’s a physical thing too, not just mental. Like my thoughts…they genuinely hurt when they get that loud. And then it spreads, and it’s external stuff, too, that hurts, stuff that shouldn’t hurt. Someone’s voice will pitch in a way that feels like a knife scraping over my brain, my bones, my skin… Same when it gets too cold, or too hot, usually unexpectedly. When everything just gets too…much, it hurts me.”
The description of all of these things related to sensory issues and sensory overload in this book are so painfully accurate. As an AuDHD person, I loved every second of feeling so very seen reading this book.
