i wish my hearing wasn't so damn sensitive. i have white noise playing loud af when i go to bed so I won't hear anything else. the power went out twice last night which of course shut off the white noise. first i woke up to the sound of my cat chewing, the 2nd time I woke up to someone walking on the other side of the house. why does autism/misophonia have to do that omg

on the bright side having sensitive hearing isn't all that bad bc when i listen to music i can pick out every single instrument's part and learn how to play every part on every instrument i own so that's an autism win for sure. we have a badass electric piano from 1989 that lets you record multiple tracks at once. so when I was in band, I'd learn every instrument's part, record each of them, play them all at once, then practice my part on my instrument (viola, clarinet, bass clarinet, saxophone) along with it. like i said. autism for the win. sometimes

#i was doing that from 10-15 years old #quit band at 15 because 1. our band teacher tried to kill us (had to have an ambulance come for several students during a heat wave)#and 2. they wanted $350 for band fees and my parents couldn't afford it #my grandma bought that piano for $3000 in 1989 dollars which is $7628.25 in today's money #i don't even know how SHE afforded that. it was right after my grandpa died so maybe life insurance or something like that?#it's the most expensive item we've ever owned for sure other than cars #.bdo
