Fibromyalgiaįibromyalgia is a pain-causing condition affecting the entire body.Ī 2021 study reports that people with fibromyalgia have higher sensitivity not just to pain, but to other sensations too, including light, smell, and sound.Īnd a 2014 brain imaging study on 35 women with fibromyalgia and 25 women without showed that this hypersensitivity is reflected in different patterns of brain activity between people with and without fibromyalgia. A 2019 study revealed a connection between TBI and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in military personnel because of altered sensory processing. Light and sound sensitivity is a common sign of TBI and can affect quality of life. It may be followed by post-concussion syndrome, which describes symptoms that linger longer than expected. Concussion and post-concussion syndromeĪ concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). This means that they can be more responsive or less responsive to sensory input than allistic (nonautistic) people.ĭifferent neurotypes have different sensory overload thresholds, and an autistic person might be overwhelmed in situations that don’t affect allistic people. It’s estimated that about 90% of autistic people have sensory experiences that are atypical, according to a 2020 review. People experiencing anxiety have a higher chance of experiencing sensory overload, which in turn can cause anxiety. The connection between anxiety and sensory overload goes both ways. Not all people with ADHD experience sensory overload and overstimulation, but the chances increase given certain ADHD factors, such as: Sensory overload is a characteristic of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Which conditions are linked to sensory overload?Įven though sensory overload can happen to any person at any age, there are many health and developmental conditions where it’s more likely to occur. For example, a student at a school assembly could feel overwhelmed by the sounds echoing in the gym, the glare of the fluorescent lights, and the movement and presence of all the students around them. Sometimes, more than one sense is overwhelmed. Sensory overload can affect any one of your senses, such as:
It’s more than just an aversion to loud noises. This is when you see signs like meltdowns in children and irritability in adults. Sensory overload activates a fight, flight, or freeze response in which you try to escape triggers. Some people’s neurology might be sensitive because of mental health conditions or medical issues.The person experiencing the overload might be tired or hungry, so their brain circuitry might not work as well as usual.The reasons for this mismatch between input and sensory integration can vary. When this processing can’t keep up with new input, the result is sensory overload.
Several areas of the brain process the sensations you experience. If you're not into it, I've got a bunch of other cool bits back at my store that may be more your style, so hopefully you can find something you love just click here: input from your environment doesn’t stop at your senses. Please see my FAQs and policies for more details. The service used to ship your order depends on where you are and what you order. I don't use plastic packaging (or if I do it's recycled/recyclable).
#Auditory sensory overload upgrade#
Your order is never tracked unless you upgrade at checkout, please do not message me asking for tracking info if you didn't upgrade. Īll my items are made in house, by me, and they are all made to order (except enamel pins, which are the ONLY "in stock" item I have) - I'm only one person so please be patient.

Photos show the badges next to a 5p coin (about the same size as a US dime) for scale. The rectangles will just have the name tag design with no border and background colour like on the round ones. These badges come in three size options and two paper options, see photos for details.ĥ8mm (2.25") round 44mm (1.75") round or 40圆0mm (approx 1.55"x2.35") rectangular with rounded corners. This badge has a blue background and an orange name tag design that reads "hello I have an auditory processing disorder please be patient". If you need a guage on timeframe, just message me :)Ī functional badge to express that you have auditory processing issues and to let people know to please be patient with you. This is a one person business and everything is made to order, nothing is "stock"/immediately ready to ship except enamel pins. Always check processing time before you order.
