Sounds like does have aensory processing issues. Loud noises bother me too. Imagine having two speakers put up to full volume up to your ears. It's quite painful. That's what things like vacuum cleaners, hair driers, blenders, and lawn mowers sound to me. If I have to do any of those tasks I wear ear plugs or something to muffle out that noise.
On a side note I took that online PDD test a while ago, just for the lolz to see where it would place me. I came out in the moderate-severe range.
And on another side note, I learned from volunteering at a greenhouse that lawn mowers and stuff that loud can possibly lead to hearing loss. (that's supposedly why they test the hearing of all hired gardeners/workers who do those things on a yearly basis.) So maybe I'm not that awkward/far off for demanding I protect my ears.
