Gawd, @Autismandbc, hospitals can be such zoos. I'm light, scent and sound sensitive-- though from a mental health perspective I've never been diagnosed with anything apart from being difficult and occasionally depressed.
After an hour in most hospitals I'm trying to hide in the loo to get away from shrieking children, mindless announcements and relentless scurrying . Problem is, it really stinks in there, so then I try to talk the door bitch into letting me wait outside suggesting they can ring me when it's my turn for whatever horrible fucking thing I'm there for. Answer is always 'no'
It would be lovely to experience something less challenging. So glad you've found a more sympathetic place.
