I feel like I hear so so much about somatosensation (especially like clothing textures) being a problem for people, and a lot less about auditory sensation, which has always been the biggest thing for me. So this was definitely surprising to me! I’m curious, though, because auditory can definitely be broken into two categories— are people more overwhelmed by *amount* of noise, *number* of noises, or *processing* of noises?

wikipedia article on human senses for definitions and clarification

#I think for me it’s mostly processing #but definitely a combination of processing and volume of noise #although that’s mostly just that amount of noise makes processing harder #and then the extra processing effort is what’s overwhelming #but I don’t get overwhelmed by volume alone #like I love loud concerts #I feel like this might broadly be an autistic vs ADHD thing?#definitely people with either can have either issue #but I certainly associate volume problems with autism and processing problems with ADHD #I’m so curious
