Better at taking care of me and avoiding triggers. Better at staying away from places with.thumping loud music and large crowds. Better at analyzing what people say to me...sometimes I can minimize the hurt with logic, which is a bit part of how I think. I atll cry at sad movies. Worse, I cant watch any of the humane society commercials,,,I have to mute them and look away. I am stll sensitive to stimuli.
But I generally seem to have developed more of a tolerance than I did. That makes my life a bit easier.
My Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son has gained some tolerance to stimuli too, although less than me.
