I mean for all children of all sorts. Did it mean for a group of children or children in general?

I remember when I was younger, I would cry for sounds but not just *any* sound. I cried for the loud sounds hurting my ears. I don't know if at the age, I had heightened hearing or something, but those sounds did make my ears hurt. I often cried to my parents as they noticed me holding my ears to certain sounds.

One of those certain sounds were: thunder. I was scared of the lightening for sure, but I was more afraid of the thunder. Even my parents were scared of that. It was pretty normal. I always held my ears, but time went on, and I stopped.

Carnival rides. I was very scared of heights. I learned to just go to high places and try my best to be strong. It made my fear fade slowly away. I still have it but to a lesser extent now. Several carnival rides were loud and provoking.

Concerts. I've been to a few and wasn't that scared but the child-friendly ones were the ones I was scared the most, believe it or not. I hated the attention I was given for being in the front seat at the time. I don't actually know, if I was more scared of the costumes, the people, or the loud music and voices they talked in, microphones. I was very afraid of them and often cried.

I remember I went to a party and my parents took me there for a wedding or some sort of event that the song there almost made my ears bleed. It was very, very loud. The adults handled it better than me. I cried until I got cotton balls for my ears. My parents helped me put them in. I stopped crying, but the sound still made me sad and scared. And I think they fell out at some point or made things muffled but still harsh to hear.

I was afraid of many things even creepy moving things. I didn't know why I would be strangely afraid of sound especially loud sounds. It would make my ears hurt and eardrums not handle it. I'm not sure if my parents were somewhat deaf, didn't realize the Hertz/decibels were too loud for children especially, or that I was plain weird and generally afraid. I mean, probably it is normal to be scared of loud sounds. I was never diagnosed with anything. My parents didn't take the opportunity to take me to the doctors to get a diagnosis during my younger years. All I know for a fact is that I'm a healthy individual. I never had anything, but my parents got scammed at some point for a doctor visit. I don't know what I have in the cases of diseases. I don't know, if I have diabetes. My relatives had diabetes and breast cancer or some type of cancer. My parents have something, too. They got it from their parents and so on.

All I'm asking is, was it normal? Did I have something like autism? Was I on the spectrum or am I just overthinking as things got better and that I've matured? Thank you for your time, and I’m very sorry for taking most of it. I hope you do have a good day, though.
