oly's interview
How did all start?
When I was born. Two months before my due date, at 24 weeks old. All the physical stuff cleared up mostly by the time I started school except that the sensory processing issues. I didn't have a lot of friends and the ones I did have seemed to have a similar social/sensory experience to mine. I thought everyone's internal experience was the same as mine but that they were better at moderating their reactions.
Do you already have a diagnosis? How long did it take you to get it?
I do not have one yet. Returning to the medical system just now at age 25.
What has been the most useful thing for you so far?
Headphones, having a supportive partner, spending time around animals when I'm tired of people.
