#people with sensory issues

Yesterday my grandmother said she'd just learned that the lights of fireworks and the BOOM of fireworks do not go together. You can have the lights without the bang boom loud.

1. Was this common knowledge and everyone else knew this except me and my grandmother and Indi

2. Why do they not have more fireworks that have the lights without the bang

#the bang is bad for so many! #people with ptsd #people with sensory issues #people who want to talk to each other during the fireworks show #cats #dogs #small children #hurts my head and my ears

fucking bonkers to me that people watch movies in theaters. you can't control the volume. you can't rewind when you miss something. you can't choose your own subtitles. you can't even pause to use the bathroom??? there's only like 7 movies to choose from????? and you must pay money for this privilege? grotesque. repugnance. act of torture.

#all while sitting in a room full of strangers breathing out their germs. repugnant #it must be fucking wild not to have sensory processing issues. you people are aliens #'but it's a bigger screen' not if you watch at home with a laptop balanced 5 inches from your face #which people probably shouldn't do but i continue doggedly onward regardless

Whenever someone says "This would kill a Victorian child." Or "This would kill a medieval peasant." I have to think about Machete. Would he... would he survive eating a Dorito?

.

#I've never had doritos myself so I have no point of reference #I think they sell them here nowadays but it's a fairly new thing and I don't eat a lot of chips #they had spices in the past but they were extremely expensive #I think most of them had to be imported from South/Southeast Asia #India in particular #few could afford such luxury goods but if you could serve people spicy food it was a mark of wealth #so historically a lot of upper class dishes were extra flavorful #potentially to an overpowering degree maybe #it was a status thing #a dorito wouldn't kill him but I've mentioned he secretly tends to favor somewhat bland and unthreatening foods #that won't set off his sensory issues #he'll eat the various nutmeg cinnamon clove saffron ginger creations people serve to him because declining would be a massive faux pas #but it's not an enjoyable experience #answered #anonymous #give him some light broth and a little bit underseasoned chicken to eat with his watered down wine

Soap learning that you have sensory issues, especially related to touch and skin to skin contact, which is why you’ve been avoiding cuddling with him.

Soap bursting into your room with a genius idea, that if you both wear over sized hoodies (‘borrowed’ from ghost) will that help you to enjoy cuddling again??

Because the layers of soft Good Feeling material will offset the icky feeling of bare skin, while giving freedom to wrap arms around things. And if soap can wrap his arms around you and hold you tight, he can help you stim by gently rocking you side to side, and so on

#soap x reader #reader with sensory issues #not many tags bc this is so self indulgent and uh yeah idk how people will react to it #johnny soap mactavish

Feel free to clarify in the tags/reblogs, as well as talk about your experience with tattoos and piercings as someone who's neurodivergent.

#i just got my sixth piercing (a labret) and im looking to get my eighth tattoo so im curious #especially on sensory issues and tattoos/piercings #and i dont see it talked about a lot so i figure id start the discussion #- siri #also just wanted to test out the polls #note how im only asking neurodivergent people #neurotypicals please dont respond

Eating is good, no matter what you are able to eat!

If you have sensory issues with food, or can only eat a very limited range of foods, or highly processed foods, or foods that aren't considered 'healthy', please remember that there's no 'wrong' way to eat! I am so proud of you for eating!

#art #positivity #birblr #autism acceptance month #autism positivity #positivity art #body positivity #bird art #birblr art #cockatiel #no2 of my autism positivity for april but as usual ofc this applies to allistic people too! #this is something I struggle with as someone who is recovered from an ed but also has sensory issues with food #there aren't many foods I can eat and that's okay! #I mean it sucks a bit but I'm still a good guy even if I can't eat lots of varied interesting foods!

I wish more people knew about ARFID and how much it can affect you. As someone who has it, it’s so discouraging seeing people every now and then online (or irl) make fun of people for being “picky eaters” who see it as a sign of immaturity. It doesn’t matter how old and mature I get, that doesn’t make my sensory issues and lack of hunger cues from bad interoception somehow disappear.

#sorry I just saw a post on Instagram and lots of people were being really rude about someone who had an aversion to shrimp #just makes me sad #I wish people had more empathy about it #it is so exhausting sometimes trying to eat with sensory issues and so many people have no idea #actually arfid #avoidant restrictive food intake disorder #arfid problems #tw arfid #fietro’s personal posts

neurotypical people will be like "yeah loud noises bother me too" and meanwhile i once had to sit in a closet clutching a pillow sob-rocking for 2.5 hours because a fire alarm went off for a few seconds

#this is an extreme example but it says something i think #actuallyautistic #yes many of the sensory issues that bother me are also mildly annoying to other people #the issue is that's what a mild annoyance to you is a cause of pain and extreme distress to me #it's a medical issue that can disrupt my entire day and ability to function--at which point i get told i'm 'overreacting' #and listen that is not how sensory processing disorder works #it's not ME overreacting it's my sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems malfunctioning on a biological level #and buddy you are WELCOME to try arguing with them but i personally have spent years not getting results from that #they are Stubborn and they do not give a Damn what you have to say

🔥 needle craft (crochet, knitting, sewing, etc.)

All fabric stores need to mark the fiber content of their products.

And natural fiber materials need to be 1000% cheaper, more accessible, and come in a broader color range.

I have no idea how to accomplish this.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

#ask #words-to-accomplish-something #also if you cut the fiber content tag out of a garment and then donate it to a thrift store please step on a Lego #(keep it and pin it back on if it gives you sensory issues. people thrifting need to know what the garment is made of!) #(for me it's a personal choice thing but some people have allergies to certain fabrics!) #ask meme #ask game #hot takes

Aimed at anyone filled with an irrational rage at mundane sounds. Take my hand and be a hater with me

#polls #sensory issues #i understand that these are mostly sounds people cant really control and i respect that! but they piss me off so terribly. #so i am complaining online about it #autistic

Hey guys! Top surgery is really hard! I find a lot of people sort of skip over how difficult major surgery is to go through because of course it’s worth it but !!!!!! Please!!!!!!! If this is a process you are considering going through PLEASE do all of your prep and research and be very prepared to go through an ordeal fr. This is no joke.

#and if you have sensory issues you are in for a straight up nightmare #and the complications are very real as well #make sure you have AT LEAST one or two people available to you most of the time for at least the first 2 weeks #I am so grateful to be where I am and it’s totally worth it in every way #I am so so happy to be free from my breasts fr #but I was blindsided and I was not properly informed of how intense a process this can be. #so please don’t go into this blind and naive. #and make sure you are receiving mental health support as well.

[splatoon-confession-box]

I loooove the splattercolor screen so much, best way to counter chargers, it feels so good to throw them off and not have them camp the entire game

#splatoon confessions #i do like it since it does block people's view #i just wish it did more damage and ofc they need to fix the sensory issues

[flappyhappystim]

Any sensory issues you have are valid. You aren’t being too “sensitive” or “over dramatic” because you experience sensory overload. You aren’t being difficult if you can’t touch certain textures or handle certain situations. People that don’t experience it have a hard time understanding it but please don’t let them convince you your sensory issues aren’t valid.

#I had to leave somewhere earlier tonight #because they were doing loud drilling on the automatic doors #and making an awful rattling sound #I nearly had a meltdown #and had to use a lot of coping skills to get away #and it just made me think about how often people with sensory issues #aren’t taken seriously #so i wanted to say this #in case others have been made to feel bad

People are really like yeah our socialist utopia will have no cars because nobody will need them when we all have reliable accessible transport in the form of the Sensory Torture Chambers

#actuallyautistic #sensory issues #public transport #is not the fucking answer to everything #i had to take a replacement bus today #it was not good #my skin is on fire from brushing past people
