Anyone have sensory issue stories?
I have a difficult time with noises. I can get very unsettled and panicked by too much noise stimulation. Generally I need a quiet environment to focus, be calm and happy. I often hide behind white noise to maintain my sanity, but soon my new active NC headphones will arrive to help give some freedom. I recently read a Schoppenhaur essay where he rants about how awful noise is, it felt relatable except I'm not as misanthropic. At times in the past few years I've wanted to go deaf and drill my ears out because of how tortured my mind gets by noises and sounds. There are many beautiful noises but it's a double edged sense that causes me a lot of stress.

I'm a man and I have all of that except for furry and asexuality lol.
Yeah I hate noise. The sound of people sniffing and snorting instead of blowing their nose into a tissue especially drives me up the wall. Anyway, I program with noise-isolating headphones (not noise-canceling) and sleep with earplugs, it helps. Ritalin also helps a bit.
Gonna take an autism test next week
let's see how this goes, what should I expect?
how long does a diagnostic take to be ready? I'm really curious about my results desu
just remember to brush up on the early semester material and you should be fine
qott: if u guys have particular interests what are they and why is it alluring to you
I've mentioned before, that I don't like being touched by anyone. That's pretty easy to avoid.
+2 bonus points , let’s go!
how do i keep my brain fed with enough dopamine to work and do tasks while also getting enough sleep and not being constantly on drugs? adhd meds and weed are great but i am so dependent on them both that if i lost one every semblance of stability i have would fall
I used to try to sleep deprive myself to deliberately go into a psychotic state (I was a kid too poor for drugs) and I was so productive that month it was really weird (I got 1-2hrs sleep each night). Maybe you don’t need drugs! But then again it was kinda scary
I have a lot of issues with food, vinegary stuff makes me throw up
I basically have to be listening to music I like to be productive, otherwise my brain just gets really agitated and can’t focus and it’s not fun. So ig I’m the opposite?
Thank you for putting this idea in my head, I wanna try it

Anyone else struggling with being autistic while also looking like a hot bitch?
I look like a pretty hot girl and people expect me to have hot girl vibes but instead I’m a massive sperg who’s obsessed with helicopters and engineering and have no idea how to interact with people :/ it’s been rly awkward not gonna lie
Um maybe don’t. It still fucks me up. There’s a reason why they do it as torture or whatever, but it was still fun ngl I’d do it in another lifetime
Fucking queen go slayyy bitch
Find autistic hobby spaces and hang out there?
But then everyone is weird about me being a hot bitch :( like I don’t feel comfortable going to mtg tournaments anymore because of it ;-;
tfw I will never be the hot bitch that makes incels seethe and ree at MTG because they lost to the fake gamer girl
Come on, OP is not wrong. Autism speaks is like the worst NGO ever.
I know, but for your average person who doesn't read about autism or didn't come across the occasional post about how they suck they're going to hear "I wish autistic people would shut the fuck up" and be absolutely appalled.
Goes to show how someone can mean well and accidentally come across as insane to normals just because they didn't carefully consider their words and whether someone would react differently if they missed some key information.
The picture is also just really really funny.
Sound is probably my biggest sensory issue. I’m sensitive to sound, and I also have auditory processing disorder, so I can also misunderstand things I hear, or take an extra moment or two to understand them.
I have noise cancelling headphones next to my bed, and I carry earplugs and headphones with a white noise feature whenever I leave the house.
I remember going to libraries and just being in awe and delight at how quiet they were.
I don’t agonize over my sound sensitivities anymore really, I’ve been managing them with headphones and earplugs for a good five years now.
If there’s one thing that still annoys me, it’s when my mom talks to me and expects me to hear her over the TV.
