I can say I see something like this on instagram, where I have an account and watch or read about space, magnets, technology and yeah sometimes I get bombed by posts or adverts about ND. There are the noise canceling headphones, some people think they need an autism diagnosis, to use them. Well, no! Increased sensitivity to various stimuli, like here for example to noise may appear with many different conditions, or without any conditions too. But they are advertised “for autistic people”, so it may mislead some people, they may think that if they are sensitive to noise, they are autistic. Not necessarily. But of course, whoever needs them, just buy and use. I’m not sure why they have to be advertised with the name of this specific condition. The fidget toys are not interesting to me at all. I have my way of stimming, writing numbers in rows, so I just need pen and notebook for that. And I use silicon earplugs because they are soft, small and cheap. So the companies not gonna make any big business on me. And I usually ignore their ads. Of course it’s good there are sensory aids for those who need them. But I can say it’s kind of business too. Everything is… I think
