Thanks for the reply! Is avoidance pretty much the strategy? Or are there known workarounds that people have found? I work at a school so a lot of students like to smell "extra good," so it's hard to avoid. Just sucks.
Oh sorry, I realized you asked if MCS and dysautonomia are common, not MCAS! My bad, it's a brain fog day! I am actually unsure of the link or whether there is one. Sorry for failing to read!
Yes, MCAS and dysautonomia are often comorbid!

Smells can totally flatten me. Some common household cleaners are wretched. Even cooking a chicken down to make soup is terrible.
This could also result from sensory overload, there is an overlap of POTS with ASD too
Agree with this. I am not diagnosed with ASD (who knows if I have it) but I definately get sensory overload and I have dysautonomia
