before reading this i assumed you meant hypersensitivity to the sound of laughter. i think i have felt this thing you're talking about - i have trouble identifying motives, humor, etc so sometimes i wonder if there is an inside joke at my expense ..
but maybe you also have PTSD. i have read that a lot of people with AS also have PTSD and in some cases it is from many years of being bullied. don't know if this makes sense or not.
Similar I think, like I said it's simply people, anyone, laughing around me that makes me feel horrible. It makes perfect sense, although I think PTSD is a little extreme, on the other hand I've never been professionally tested for it.
Either way I'm now seeking help, thank you so much everyone who posted, it's been an unbelievable help just knowing someone out there is listening.
