I did horrible in school and get overstimulated over everything. I am actually very smart, just easily distracted and bored and go “too hard” on too many things at once

Yep, I’m extremely sensitive to loud noise, have a high IQ, and was diagnosed with adhd.

Yup. I’m sensitive to loud noise and any scratchy fabric. Even medication doses, too. I got put on a small dose med that made me vomit. The NP who prescribed said it’s unusual for that med. I’m definitely emotionally sensitive. I absorb people’s negativity and have difficulties in work environments where people don’t control their stress. And I’ll get pretty salty with people I’m close to if they tick me off.
