My ears hurts after a long day. It rattles me -- I need to find a quiet place, even though I'm something of a musician! Yes -- I am sensitive to sound, especially when multiple people are talking at once. I'm not some quiet sensitive type who runs out of a shopping mall because it's too loud -- I wear headphones all the time -- sometimes not even listening to music : )) Yes -- SOUND is a big deal to me : ))

AS quotient: Scored 32 and above, multiple times. I have been diagnosed with ADHD and OCD in the past, but those could simply be stereotypic traits related to Asperger's.

Hypersensitive to sound, to meny voices, high pitch and loud sounds(good music and the like is OK on a good day). It has gotten worse with age along with light sensitives. I have issues with touch aswell however I can bearly smell a thing(not sure it its AS related or not)
