Thanks everyone for the good responses. @ginger W, how wonderful it must have been to actually meet Temple Grandin. When I read her book, " Thinking In Pictures " I felt like someone finally understood me. Until that time I thought everyone thought in pictures. Until reading her book, I thought I was a big mistake.

I always knew something was not right. But I could never figure it out. I blamed myself. It was a long process to discovery. So many years of anxiety, not realizing the link between off the charts hearing and my irritability. Sensitivity to sounds made life almost unbearable at times.

That's why I advocate for the little ones who have gone through so many of the same circumstances as I dealt with.

Talk with you soon,
