Does the Grinch have a sensory processing disability?

I know the 2000 and 2018 movies give him traumatic backstories explaining why he hates Christmas.

But the original Grinch the only reasoning he gave was that he hated the noise.

Traumatic stress disorders also often come with sensory processing disabilities.

I can relate to the distress that the noise of celebrations causes him.

Heard back from the surgeon who canceled my surgery. I don't get even a penny of my money back.

I wasn't expecting they would b/c basically they're blaming me for it being canceled because they wrote down that I wanted it totally flat even though I corrected them on that more than once during my consultation

Basically they're saying it's my fault for not being clear enough

But I saw they wrote down flat so I corrected it more than once to more than one person & the woman I saw after the surgeon SAID she'd tell the surgeon and get that fixed on the notes.

So it's my fault because I trusted them to get that fixed before my surgery.

Yale released a study ~in 2020~ where they repeatedly intentionally frightened toddlers over and over with short breaks in between each frightening stimuli in order to see how autistic toddlers response to fear differs from non-autistic toddlers.

They claim they stopped if a child was too frightened, but y'all are here admitting you're doing this study in the first place because autistic fear responses can look different from non autistic responses.

We often have delayed emotional responses. 30-75 seconds is not enough time in between stimuli to be sure that an autistic child has processed it & is not too frightened or overwhelmed to move on to the next stimuli

Also really want to know how they determined what was too much
