ELI5 , Is it common?
In: Biology
It is extremely common! sensory overload is your brains way of balancing & figuring out new senses. That’s why when people from the suburbs visit the city they think it’s smelly and loud, it’s becauses their senses haven’t adjusted. However more extreme cases of sensory overload are related to things like autism where the brain doesn’t know how to react to new sensations, which is why you see many autistic rocking and flapping their hands. They are trying to balance out the stimuli surrounding them.
