Is Anyone Sensitive To Noise or Odors?
I've always been hypersensitive to noise and smell and while I've heard that sensitivity to noise is not uncommon among dyspraxics I've never heard anyone mention sensitivity to odors. It's often very difficult for me to use public rest rooms, and I can't stand the smell of cigarettes.

Not really odours, but more of noises. I hate sirens, lawnmowers, ticking clocks, ticking clock is the worst one for me.

Can´t stand loud noises or perfume. Noise-canceling headphones are a godsend for me.

Generally speaking I don't think my sense of smell is all that good. I would expect my colleagues to say I'm the noisy one though who I'm stressed I think I'm more affected by distractions.
I believe it is true that many people are more prone to sensory overload.

I wish my sense of smell was not good; I think I have some Labrador retriever blood in me somewhere

I do struggle with odors, but noise and light are worse. I work on an intensive care unit and I feel I get sensory overload all the time especially the alarms, but the bright lights and odors are really bad too. I find I get quite agitated by it all.

Yes I don't like my mum clicking her finger nails and I don't like tinnitus sounding tones. Very irritating even from a distance, you tell people to stop and they think your being awkward.allesandro wrote:I've always been hypersensitive to noise and smell and while I've heard that sensitivity to noise is not uncommon among dyspraxics I've never heard anyone mention sensitivity to odors.
