New Autism Achievement Unlocked?

Today I had a new experience with my sensory processing— one I hope I don’t repeat ever again. At the grocery store self-checkout all of the machines were set to the highest possible volume and were all in use at once. About thirty seconds of this had me so dizzy that I nearly fell over. Moira had to finish buying our groceries for me.

This isn’t my normal response to cacophonous noise— usually I’m not bothered by it but if I am then I process it as pain and then irrational anger. I don’t tend to get ever dizzy unless I’m very sick or have been hit rather hard in the head, so this was startlingly unpleasant.
