I just noticed something else about myself...

Post Reply New Topic

When I accidentally played a video while my phone was plugged in to speakers and the loud noise startled me, I couldn't calm down except to press myself against things as hard as I could (like my leg against the car door since I was sitting in the drivers seat at the time, etc). Do other people do this? Sorry if this question has already been asked... I tried to search for it but didn't know what exactly to search for...

Well I hate and despise loud sounds just like you. They make me feel weird and stuff. So I get how you feel there. But never done physical damage to myself over it. I might be running around crazy or trying to get out of the room where it's at and freak me out.

I typically drop the F-bomb on impact, get pissed at myself, and then I'm cool after a few seconds.

I don't mind loud noises so much unless they're unexpected, but I hate surprises in that category!

Many autistic people find feeling pressure to be relaxing. Especially after being stressed out or surprised. What you said seems perfectly normal to me.

The pressure is calming.
I find lying on a hard floor relaxing for this reason.
If I'm talking to someone, I will often find myself leaning against something for comfort.
Being squeezed in the right place can also avert a meltdown.

The sudden loud noise exceeded your neuro-processing abilities for a brief period, and also stimulated the fight/flight response, as it was briefly perceived as a danger.

Pressing against a solid, stable surface provided a sense of stability, which helped to calm you down from the false sense of danger, and the over stimulation of your neuroprocessing center.

All this is actually pretty normal, except that people on the spectrum are often more sensitive to loud noises, bright lights, and other sensory input.

Unexpected loud noises make me jump.

Pressure is very relaxing for me. I heard somewhere that a lot of autistics are like this.

Yeah, it's a thing, clearly. I hug myself when I'm agitated or uncomfortable. If I'm sitting at my desk, I'll squeeze myself in the corner of the desk so that I'm wedged in between my chair and the desk itself. If it's really bad, I'll rock back and forth on top of that. It's totally unconscious. I often don't realize I'm doing it until I've been doing it for a while or someone notices me doing it. I never really thought about it, but pressure does actually help a lot.

I just bought a fidget spinner and find it can take my attention of things that are bothering me ( briefly ) and it replaces all my stims.

I have mild autism. So I'm not really familiar with that symptoms. But loud noises after a while tend to be very irritating.
