• Balloons ( popping specifically. balloons near me only while someone else is grasping the actual balloon )
• Being touched or touching others ( hand shaking, hugging, etc )
• Closed doors in my home
• Death
• Looking at people in the eyes
• Sand

General Triggers

• Being asked questions when I am nonverbal makes me angry/overstimulated. I tend to yell and cover my ears or eyes, and possibly hide
• Locked doors/closed doors in my home ( Trauma/PTSD response )
• Loud sounds
• People standing too close to me scares me
• Repeating sounds can make me cover my ears/overstimulated
• Touch without warning ( More times than not I will not want touched )
• Touching anything wet unexpectedly can trigger a very rapidly escalating meltdown

I am ok to talk about any of these. I may be uncomfortable with the topic depending on who is fronting. Avoiding topics is not necessary and if I am uncomfortable I will speak up. The only ones that are never ok are at the end.
