Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 On the topic of texture sensitivity, when I was younger I wore overalls for over a year straight because I couldn't stand the feeling of the waistband on pants, and the tags in clothes drove me nuts. I still wear my pants pretty loose around my waist, because the feeling drives me nuts if it's too tight and I STILL rip out all the tags on my clothes. I also hate the feeling of my skin touching together. I always have to wear a pair of shorts under my skirts so that my legs don't touch together and I sleep with a pillow inbetween my legs. I also love wearing gloves because then my fingers don't touch together. Also, when I sleep at night, I have to put my hand under my pillow for my head to rest on, because I can't stand the feeling of putting my hand directly on my face. I can't wear anything sleeveless, because my arms touch the side of my body. I also hate folding my hands together. Basically, anything that involves MY skin touching together makes me feel squeamish and just feel wrong. I can touch other people with no problem though.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Also on the topic of food texture, I cannot stand any foods that have pudding texture. Yogurt, frosting, pudding ect. It literally makes me gag. Ice cream is fine for me to eat, so long as it's not melted and is still completely frozen. But once it starts it melt, I can't eat it. I'm very sensitive to texture of things. I think more so than other people around me since I've always noticed little things like that that other people don't. But, I never thought that it had anything to do with my hearing sensitivity until it was brought up here. Weird!

Me and my aunt both have this 4s and we both have an obssesion with touching silk. It's weird but i have to touch and weave it between my fingers. And if i dont have silk to touch i will think about it and just start rubbing my fingers. And I also cant stand wearing socks if i am not wearing shoes.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Not that me or my family can remember. I have never had head pains or anything like that.. To: Soundsensitivity Sent: Mon, April 4, 2011 8:27:12 AMSubject: Re: Re: autistic nazis Okay Addy... just a thought. How about this. Have you or anyone else in the group suffered a head trauma or seizures or both prior to your sound sensitivity? When I was 2 1/2 years old my baby sitter dropped me from the top of one of those stainless steel slides you see or used to see in parks. The tall shiny ones. I was knocked unconscious. I was taken to hospital and x-rayed, but nothing was found. I do not know which part of my head impacted. At four years of age my cousin was pushing me in a hand truck. One that his father made. It did not have a back. He let go of the handles and let it fall on the sidewalk. The back of my head smacked the concrete. He told me not to tell. I didn't tell until 40 years later. I started having grand mal seizures when I was 9, for absolutely no reason that the doctor's could find. Of course they did not know of the 2 previous head injuries. My mother was alone as my father was in Vietnam. The only things the doctor's had were x-ray and EEG. I had my last seizure at age 12 or 13. I was in English class and felt it coming on so I walked into the hall. I fell down and hit my head on the linoleum. At this time CAT scan and MRI machines had not been invented. I have never had these procedures done to my head, so I don't know if there is any scarring of my brain. Anyone else have head injuries or seizures prior to their sound sensitivity?

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 We don't know if it's a cascade affect or just a coincidence but a lot of us have other sensitivities beside 4s. My father is standing behind me righ tnow as I type this because I'm by the door and he's getting ready to go outside. Just having him standing there is almost taking over my ability to think straight. Just because it totally derails my sensory system to have him there. Almost can't even type, I'm so distracted and tense!!!! ai-yai-yai! But anyway, I too really detest things. Any food that is too soft to be chewed but too firm to be swallowed like a liquid is just weird to me! yuck!

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 ADDDDDYYY!!!! OOOOMMMMGGG!!!!!! I LOVE when I find people JUST like me and by that, I mean these little tiny strange things even for us. I hate physical displays of affection! I never cuddled with mother as a child (as she constantly reminds me and everyone else). I do not cuddle. I DO NOT HUG. I do not pat on the shoulder, touch on the arm, and if someone puts their arm around me, I step away! I really really can't stand being touched. And the silk thing, I mean wow! You know that silky trim around baby blankets? If I touch that kind of fabric on anything, instantly I begin rubbing it and gathering it in my fingers. I can't even control the action. It just happens and it's really, really hard to stop. I've gotten embarassed a few times in public because I've been caught having a moment rubbing silky fabric. haha.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Thats how i feel too. My legs rubbing freaks me out. I also thought it was because my thighs are a little big To: Soundsensitivity Sent: Mon, April 4, 2011 4:03:49 PMSubject: Re: Re: autistic nazis Wow. I mean...wow. I'd like to say I know how you feel but I actually have very little idea. I don't like feeling my legs together under a skirt or short shorts but I think that's because I got chubby thighs. That sucks.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Same here! Earlier today i was reading all these posts and my mom was standing behind me texting. I couldnt focus and had to leave. i felt bad because she wasnt really doing anything but that was all i focused on! To: Soundsensitivity Sent: Mon, April 4, 2011 4:07:07 PMSubject: Re: Re: autistic nazis We don't know if it's a cascade affect or just a coincidence but a lot of us have other sensitivities beside 4s. My father is standing behind me righ tnow as I type this because I'm by the door and he's getting ready to go outside. Just having him standing there is almost taking over my ability to think straight. Just because it totally derails my sensory system to have him there. Almost can't even type, I'm so distracted and tense!!!! ai-yai-yai! But anyway, I too really detest things. Any food that is too soft to be chewed but too firm to be swallowed like a liquid is just weird to me! yuck! Tammy To: soundsensitivity Sent: Mon, April 4, 2011 5:58:17 PMSubject: RE: Re: autistic nazis Also on the topic of food texture, I cannot stand any foods that have pudding texture. Yogurt, frosting, pudding ect. It literally makes me gag. Ice cream is fine for me to eat, so long as it's not melted and is still completely frozen. But once it starts it melt, I can't eat it. I'm very sensitive to texture of things. I think more so than other people around me since I've always noticed little things like that that other people don't. But, I never thought that it had anything to do with my hearing sensitivity until it was brought up here. Weird!

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I loves to be cuddled and still do AND love to touch silk. The edge of my blankie was very important as well. Same with my 4 year old. I can't stand the scratchy sponges on pots or pans or to rub certain fabrics. Feels very icky to me. I fit in the highly sensitive person category not the SPD. HeidiSent from my iPhone My jaw just dropped! I even read that to my mom because that is sooo exact!!!1 I had a baby blanket with the silk and i left it at a super 8 motel and they 'never found it' I had to get a new one and still take it everywhere i stay. I have to gather it in my fingers the exact way you explained!!! omgg. To: Soundsensitivity Sent: Mon, April 4, 2011 4:11:31 PMSubject: Re: Re: autistic nazis ADDDDDYYY!!!! OOOOMMMMGGG!!!!!! I LOVE when I find people JUST like me and by that, I mean these little tiny strange things even for us. I hate physical displays of affection! I never cuddled with mother as a child (as she constantly reminds me and everyone else). I do not cuddle. I DO NOT HUG. I do not pat on the shoulder, touch on the arm, and if someone puts their arm around me, I step away! I really really can't stand being touched. And the silk thing, I mean wow! You know that silky trim around baby blankets? If I touch that kind of fabric on anything, instantly I begin rubbing it and gathering it in my fingers. I can't even control the action. It just happens and it's really, really hard to stop. I've gotten embarassed a few times in public because I've been caught having a moment rubbing silky fabric. haha.

Me and my aunt both have this 4s and we both have an obssesion with touching silk. It's weird but i have to touch and weave it between my fingers. And if i dont have silk to touch i will think about it and just start rubbing my fingers. And I also cant stand wearing socks if i am not wearing shoes. I dont know if that is something with the 4s but if it is something we have in common it may be a part of the syndrom To: "Soundsensitivity " <Soundsensitivity >Sent: Mon, April 4, 2011 6:55:25 AMSubject: Re: Re: autistic nazis I realized something very interesting this week and was curious what u all may think about it. My thirteen year old daughter has 4s symptoms and her pediatrician asked me if she has ever had issues with touching textures, tight clothing, etc and I said "well, yes she has". The day I brought her home from the hospital she screamed and kicked when I put her diaper on, that stopped eventually but then it was her hatred of socks and shoes, then that stopped and she hated pantyhose, turtlenecks, anything snug, and then that seemed to go away and now for the last few years she has 4S symptoms. Anyway he recommended for me to read a book called Parenting a Child with Sensory Processing Disorder. I just received the book so I haven't read it yet.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Daogress, did you have a CAT scan or MRI of your head after you were injured? We're they closed or open wound injuries?

At around age seven or maybe 8, another peer, threw a rock as hard as he could and it hit me in the back of my lower skull area. I heard a weird beep sound as the rock hit. Those are the only 2 ones that I remember. I did have a really bad ear infection, somewhere in the age range from 5-7 years old. > > > > > > >> >> >I dont think that has much to do with it.
