Aspie Blog - Sensory Overload Through My Eyes

DON'T WATCH THIS IF YOU GET OVERWHELMED EASILY!!!! It's NOT intended for those with Sensory Disorders!!! It is for Neurotypicals to see how overwhelming the overloads are!!! Please everyone STOP telling me you had to stop because it was overwhelming. OBVIOUSLY it's overwhelming!! That was the point!!

i made it 2 seconds in the video that's how long it took me to find the STOP BUTTON!!! I don't know if I want to try to get to the informative part I think I will try other info. that sound actually really scared me like those video's were they get you close to the monitor and show something horrible with a scream sound. I don't think they are funny at all.

@TheTinybyte I hate those videos too. Hopefully you're referring to the random screaming videos as not funny. This video is to show Neurotypicals how overwhelming a sensory overload can be. Not to please anyone and definitely not for laughs.

AAAAAAUUUGH! That really high pitched whining at 0:26 ? Forget it, I can't watch anymore.

[jaydy11]

@Ispod4 That's the point.. that people understand how painful it is to watch.

AAAHHHH. Couldn't take more than 5 seconds. I've felt something like this a few times, even though I've never been diagnosed as being on the spectrum. It's usually when I get kinda anxious about something, everything gets brighter and louder and kind of deepens, and then I get freaked out about THAT, and it just hurts worse and worse until I force myself to shut down and make my mind go somewhere else. I always just considered this a panic attack, is that not what it is? ._.

[jaydy11]

@rjpgeleveneleven Nobody with Sensory issues can really stand watching this, even I can't. I made it purely so Neurotypicals can relate more towards when we get overwhelmed. You don't have to be on the spectrum to have a Sensory Disorder either... But it's always possible.

Gosh, too much for me too, I'm an Aspie. Had to stop watching the video.

Thank you so much for posting that video. It has helped me understand what my daughter goes through. I have always wondered and now I know.

You start hearing Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys in your head? That's not really a bad thing.

[missalrapson]

This was really interesting. Thank you.

[g1gavet]

I used this video to show a friend what it's like. It worked, so thank you

[shadowedjewels]

Your videos are great and I wish everyone would be forced to watch them and get some education.

[jennalah]

I came across your channel today and you are a big inspiration to me! Living with [very high functioning] PDD-NOS, with moderate sensory issues I have had difficulty processing all of these sights/sounds/etc my entire life. Nobody understands that though, and I feel like this video is a great educational tool, as well as your other videos where you talk about various topics related to your autism. I bookmarked this channel and look forward to seeing a lot more from you! :)

I sat through the entire video. I am neurotypical and I have a son with Asperger's, SID, and ADHD. I had no clue that this was what he was experiencing. That was incredibly difficult to endure. I could not imagine going through that more than once. Thank you so much for helping others to understand what you are going through. You are doing such a wonderful thing by posting these videos. God bless and good luck! :)

[yournextepiphany]

Yikes! That's really scary for me to watch and I am 'neurotypical', as you put it. I have been watching your videos and they are very interesting, but it makes me sad that you should have to deal with this, and others too. It's hard enough being a teenager without having to deal with these issues as well. Good luck.

Thanks for this. Although it really hurt me to watch it I think I will show it to my carers because I have severe sensory problems and I don't think a lot of them fully understand it and think I am just a little bit sensitive then wonder why I behave bizarrely. Lol don't know why I watched the whole thing though, my ears are still ringing!
