I love going to dinner with my friends, but do restaurants have to be so loud?? Every sound turns to mush.

I personally prefer headphones, though I have earplugs (Loop Engage and Quiet). I use the engage in situations where I still need to talk but it's still loud, but they are kind of annoying because they increase the volume of my voice in my head lol (still better than absolutely nothing though). I use the Quiets either under my headphones for extra noise reduction or instead of my headphones when I can't wear them for whatever reason. I have the Sony 1000-Xm4 headphones which I highly recommend, though they're really expensive so if you want to get them I recommend waiting for them to go on sale like I did.

i made my first comic :) that ND feeling when you have so much more to process than NTs and it's hard to answer even "simple" questions.

I hate how much that autism has become a joke recently. "omg I'm so autistic 🤪" when they literally just do something a bit out of the ordinary. But in reality autism isn't that at all, especially for me. For me it's sensory issues, missing social cues, overstimulation, sensitivity, stimming, echolalia, auditory processing issues, having difficulty making and maintaining friends, etc. stop making real disorders a little joke, you are contributing to the harmful stereotypes and stigma.

YouTube really needs to be better at captioning

#like seriously what the fuck #I’m trying to watch a video for class but the captions are so wrong and its driving me insane #and I’m not D/deaf or HoH so I can’t imagine how hard it must be for them when captions are wrong #cuz for me its just an annoyance and frustration but at least I can still hear what they’re saying #auditory processing problems #auditory processing issues #auditory processing disorder #autism #closed captions #youtube #what the fuck man #disability #disabled #cpunk #cripple punk #cripplepunk #actually disabled #moony talks

autism culture is having noise dimming earplugs and still nearly ragging your hair out because the fREAKING AIR CONDITIONING IS SOMEHOW MAKING IT THROUGH

I think a thing that is frustrating about neurotypicals as someone with autism and auditory / language processing issues (yet to be explicitly diagnosed to my knowledge) is how little they understand neurological differences and disabilities in processing things like hearing and yet they feel like they understand it to a sufficient level.

Case in point, today at work one ofbmy coworkers got all mad and offended because I was "rude and disrespectful" because in the morning, while thinking about the things I needed to do and thought of an important question before I could start my question to ask my mentor, asked the question and she was talking and thus I interrupted her. Yes, rude now that I KNOW she was talking and so I apologize, but I really hate the implied intent or lack of caring put with the "autistic interruption" shit

Ignoring social cues and rules aside, I *literally* didn't realize / process she was talking. Of course, I'm not deaf or HoH so I can't say that because "How could I not hear her? She was speaking loud enough to know" and there is a HUGE difference between *hearing* and *processing* and so when they always give the advise of be more considerate / think before you speak or tell you the social rule to not interript cause its rude, it doesn't help like at all

Cause yes, I KNOW that and I DO think before I speak. I just *literally* didnt process her speech as speech and it was filtered as white noise.

Its like going into a busy and loud club and saying "dont speak if the guy two tables down is talking"

Like yeah, maybe I COULD hear that he is talking among the 50000 other people talking, but Im not processing him talking as distinct from the ambient noise around me.

advice for people with social anxiety! a guide written for VRChat, but it's probably at least a little applicable to meatspace as well! ok, don't jump.

a circle of 6 or more is really hard to enter. you might get exhausted trying to follow the conversation, and it's hard to contribute to as well. try a group of 3, or practice greeting stragglers.

silence is ok! it's part of the natural ebb and flow of conversation. sometimes words don't work and you just have to gesticulate, crouch really fast, or jump! there's no pressure for thinking what to say. remember to breathe, just vibe, and let it come naturally. listening to music helps! don't be hard on yourself, you're making an impact just by being there.

take breaks! if there's a ton of crosstalk and you're getting overwhelmed, move to a more peaceful area. you might also take this opportunity to listen to your body and take the headset off for a little bit if needed.

find an anchor! if you notice anyone you vibe with, stick with them! they are the ones you know you can keep company with even if you aren't talking. people move around and circles can grow out of your comfort zone, so remember the above tips and keep an eye out for any other potential anchors.

Saving you all from being forced to read a rant against your will lol

Nobody ever takes auditory processing issues seriously. Nobody ever takes sensory issues seriously. I'm sick of it! No, I'm not just being difficult when I tell you to shut up when you keep fucking singing, a KNOWN MISOPHONIA TRIGGER FOR ME (I've stated this multiple fucking times). No, I'm not saying you stink, I'm telling you your perfume gives me a headache and makes me nauseous. No, I'm not making up the fact that the lights ARE RAPIDLY FLICKERING AND ITS GIVING ME A DAMN HEADACHE. Just because it doesn't affect YOU like that doesn't mean my issues don't exist! I lay down and take so much allistic world bullshit, and the MOMENT I say something I'm being too 'difficult' for people? Like what the fuck is everyone's issue istfg. God forbid I set boundaries after years of accepting things and not having a clue what's going on with me. Jesus fucking Christ.

#rant #not to mention that it makes me feel disregarded when the person does the same thing after I tell them it's distressing to me in some way #like wow man you really don't give a damn about me huh. #actually misophonic #misophonia #sensory issues #auditory processing disorder #autism #actually autistic #audhd

People with auditory processing problems, problems identifying tone, and things like that:

Please explain your answers in the tags/comments :)

I have a really hard time identifying genres of music (and identifying artists/songs, even ones I listen to all the time) and wanted to know if this is an experience others share and if that particular deficit is related to my less than amazing auditory processing skills
