"Most of the time I hate loud noises. Also things happening really fast... like flashing lights or fast images on TV, or fast traffic, bother me on occasion. Fireworks are especially bad for me, because they are bright and loud. On holidays I tend to hide in my room..."

Thanks for posting that Batgirl, I feel the same way...I hear you on the fireworks and firecrackers...they just sound too much like gun shots...or, if they're really close, like bombs going off or whatever...they just bring on all sorts of crap...

I also feel like I have to be in control especially when I'm not alone...no crying allowed kind of thing...and again, I also have reasons to fear what might happen in a fit of rage...
