I have sensory processing disorder which means my senses are on overload much of the time. When I was a little kid I would live with my fingers in my ears.. sounds scared me, some were painful to me, such as fingernails on the chalkboard.
I was afraid of fireworks, thunder and lightning, sirens.etc. The noises is what bothered me the most but it was the lights that scared me and got me to cry because I knew the noise was coming.
Today it's storming and I was watching my grandma, It was thundering and lightning.. I am thankful I was able to not be afraid of it. I saw the lightning and knew the thunder was coming.. no anxiety! I am thrilled.
