Some Sensory Processing Differences (from Personal Experience)

Apparently neurotypical people get less sensitive to repeating and/or continuous noise. I get more sensitive to repeating and/or continuing noise.

Apparently neurotypical people don’t see pain when they see flashing lights. I see pain when I see flashing lights.

Apparently neurotypical people are less sensitive to noise on a narrower bandwidth. I may be more sensitive to noise on a narrower bandwidth. I can’t tell, but beeping noises, and certain singing styles, are especially painful.

Apparently neurotypical people tend to have loudness discomfort levels around 90-100 db. I have a loudness discomfort level between 52-62 decibels, depending on my migraines.

And everything’s built around neurotypical people’s needs, without even knowing about sensory-neurodiverse needs.
