Is this Sensory Processing Disorder?
Hi! I am 16 years old and I have problems with certain sounds and feelings of things. Some sounds like just simple sounds like two things rubbing together or the pulling of a basket ball net (string) and sometimes my bra if i move it weird makes this squeaky noise.. and i can't stand it. Some of these sounds make me just want to puke and I get really bad cold chills. &with certain fabrics or the feeling of things I can't touch cotton balls no no no. I use to have to wet my cuetips before cleaning my ears because the feeling was horrid. corduroy pants are the most disgusting things ever. I cant even go near someone who is wearing them. Or if i see them like touch them while wearing them i lose it even if i dont hear the sound i can imagine it. Another feeling thing is sometimes when i wear my bearpaw boots with the fur inside my feet go crazy because the feeling against it to my socks. I cant wear socks unless its with shoes. As soon as i get home from school i change out of tight clothes and jeans into something baggy so the clothes arent touching my body. I also cant have my hand rubbing on paper when im writing i have the get the side of my hand thats touching the paper a little damp.. i know this stuff is weird/
I have heard of sensory processing disorder and i was wondering if this was it

It sounds like you have a number of sensory sensitivities. Whether or not you meet the criteria for a diagnosis of Sensory Processing Disorder would be for an expert to determine.
These phenomena are on a spectrum and many people have them to some degree, which wouldn't t meet the criteria for a formal diagnosis.
I get the impression that the sensory difficulties might be a nuisance at times but they don't really stop you functioning at school etc, which is good.
A referral to an Occupational Therapist who works with sensory integration techniques might help you develop some additional ways to cope with this.
Hope this helps.
