I remember clearly the moment I understood that I have sensory processing issues.
My boss was standing in the door of my office talking to me, and I couldn't understand her because I had a document open on my screen, there were fluorescent lights overhead, and the bubbles in my soda can were too loud.

I know I've always been like this, but I didn't realize it wasn't "typical" or "normal" until about a decade ago. I didn't understand why/how other people could function when, for example, a neighbor was pounding the ground with a basketball for 3 hours. I'd LOVE to not be like this.
