There is this default mode within society of "just getting used to a thing", such as harsh lights, harsh chemicals, extreme sounds - things which I suspect other Autistic individuals just shut down or become like an animal in survival under.
But when these things are LEGAL, it is maddening.
This is a campaign for those who suffer from LED lights: https://us18.campaign-archive.com/?u=ac4d988e143ab3ecad6398d67&id=cd0b70a4cd I personally experience a type of low-grade anxiety which can build up into difficulty breathing if subjected under them for too long, so I just mind my limit while out. Also, with their inability to produce IR, things start to become blurry as humans use infrared for contrast.
Recently I was forced to move house as I still rent. There is a smell in a room which after a week has been suggested it's just the underlay off-gassing even though the carpet has been there for years. The expense to now have to buy a proper air filter system is frustrating. I am sleeping in the coldest month of winter with the window open as the smell is only present when the boiler is turned on (yes, I've had the national grid out to double check it's not a leak). What's frustrating is no one could smell it, though a neighbour double checked after I turned the heat up and shut the windows for half a day, he noticed but said I'll just get used it "it's not enough to be harmful"
Glues, foams, fire retardants, petroleum based products - these are all proven on repeat to cause long-term affects to health. Yet it seems like legislation is actually helping consumers kill themselves slowly.
I cannot agree that things which are not human friendly are actually "green'. Who else is advocating against these forceful products? Who gains anything from this? I am not hyper-sensory. Getting used to a thing / dulling ones senses might work for a while, but is it not a thing a matter of build up? If you refuse to clean do you just get used to it? How are cause & effect, action/consequence not a forethought in society? Or, being female, do I experience more dismissal than a male might (mind, I do understand I have problems communicating).
