every once and a while I'll be like "but I'm not ACTUALLY super sensitive to sound, right, I can go for three or four class periods before realizing I'm not wearing warbuds, I'm probably just exaggerating it in my head" and then I remember that time I started crying because I was in a loud environment, with earbuds at max noise canceling, and someone clapped nearby. yea no I'm not faking it

#what i have learned is that there really are good periods of time and bad periods of time‚ and good noise and bad noise #If i'm stressed or sick or generally unhappy‚ the sound sensitivity gets worse #if sounds are unexpected‚ loud‚ or very close‚ they are bad #similarly‚ even if the roar of a crowd is only slightly deafening‚ it's worse than other sounds at the same volume #crowds where i can make out certain conversations are usually worse #for some reason‚ hearing loud sounds through speakers is easier than irl. most music is fine‚ but if performed live might be stressful #and it's not just hearing‚ i am VERY sensitive to people throwing things in my vicinity #just. absolutely strikes me every time #anyway #asd #autism spectrum disorder #autism #autistic #actually autistic
