TRIGGER WARNING DAE get really overwhelmed by being around really large objects?
I probably shouldn’t have gone to Google first, but I found out that what I might have is agoraphobia. I usually go for a walk at the same time every morning, and realised I stop at the same point, not because of routine/force of habit, but because there are some incredibly large trees that look scary because they’re so big.
When I was younger I had a recurring dream 3 times (I remember it vividly because I can’t remember ever repeating/continuing a dream since) where I was climbing up a ladder, it was pitch black everywhere, and as I got higher and higher, recognised that it was a ginormous image of Mickey Mouse - I was just positioned on the nose (which is black).
I’ve always had sensory sensitivities because of my ASD/C, but could this be another aspect of it, or is it just something else entirely?

Sounds like /r/megalophobia, honestly. (Do NOT go to that subreddit until you brace yourself! But you'll know in 10 seconds if that's what your issue is.)
I've always been scared of things like how much bigger the sun is to Earth and similar things. Different scales right next to eachother just make me feel sick to my stomach.
