Ok Here's another( is it just me ?) question.
I get very irritated by the sound of people eating (smacking their lips together etc) , and also by the sound of people drinking from a cup etc . Really to the point where i get up and leave the room.
Anyone else? or just mad old me?:rolleyes:

I have sensory issues secondary to my asperger's so I know exactly what you mean, but mine are more visual than auditory.
Yep, same here. I also hate it when people scrape their utinsels on their plates. URGH!!!!! Drives me CRAZY! I hate when the chew gum and smack their lips. I want to punch them out!

I am the same way...I used to not be so bad about it, but with the Vyvanse I don't seem to care if I offend anyone by telling them off when I'm irritated.

I use my senses alot to keep me aware of whats going on around me...can't seem to switch it off......so if people make noise which blocks out my ability to sense possible danger I get quite uptight.

I have sensory issues too. A lot of people with ADHD or Autism or Asperger's do and I have ADHD AND Asperger's. :D

same here. I STILL have nightmares about sitting at the dinner table with my Dad.
Now my biggest issue is dealing with my dear husband who insists on sleeping with the TV on. Loudly. Granted his idea of loud and mine are two different things. When I turn it down to a volume I can deal with, he says he can't hear it at all. *shrugs* God Bless iPod.

Definitely sound sensitive. Eating and drinking sounds bring up some anger. What's that all about?! Sensitive especially to droning sounds like bathroom fans, etc.

Sensory issues effect a lot of people with adhd. I hate the sound of people eating.

What drives me up the wall is the sound of WHISTLING...If I am within earshot of a whistler it makes me cringe and I have to get alway from it! I dont know if this has anything to do with ADD but I CANT STAND those freaking christmas pinecones stores seem to have this time of year...they make me physically ill!!!
