I really feel like people don't take my sensory limitations and sensitivities seriously.

I'm not just being picky, actually! Strong scents cause my respiratory system to flare up!

I actually CAN'T tune out stimuli. Its just A Thing. I've never been able to do it in my whole life because my brain Just Isn't Wired Like That

So when I say "Can you not smoke here?" or "Please only get unscented trash bags" or "I really need you to be using headphones, please" I am expressing a Very Real Need and if you're just going to ignore that I have to resign myself to the fact that I just can't trust you.

#it just... fuckin happens a lot #hey Autistic Bitches website y'all get me right?#but like #essential oils of basically every variety make me wheezy like I'm being forced to breathe cotton balls #menthol is TOO STRONG it makes my nose run and my lungs itch #cigarette smoke even in very small doses makes my lungs flare up #that's before even getting to the stuff that makes me just 'a pussy'#get accused of being lazy or a wuss or whatever when I say “No its below 0°F I physically cannot haul cargo outside or shovel or w/e”#and like I can handle people thinking I'm a huge pussy that's fine everyone has always thought that about me #but frankly nobody takes me seriously and then they get all butthurt about me taking the necessary steps to protect myself #sorry I got born with a Catastrophically Defective Body #believe me if it could help I'd peel this motherfucker apart with my bare hands #Catch me with robotic parts just ripping shit out without disconnecting a damn thing #so I can spot solder things back together or shave a gear or whatever #I'd do it with the meat suit too but it doesn't work like that
