Other people's noise

B

I am presently sitting in a hospital waiting room and am having to listen to a woman playing her phone out loud.

I have moved to the furthest away seat which is around a corner and I can still hear it!

As noise in the form of a TV or radio is often in waiting rooms anyway I am hesitant to ask her to turn it down or off.

It's talking rather than music.

I am super sensitive to noise so perhaps the problem lies with me.

What do you think?

What would you do in these circumstances? 

What is a reasonable response?

  • I did think of another possible response. If you stopped masking and had really obviously autistic stims start, like rocking and humming to yourself. They might move pretty quickly then. (If you need to regulate because of the noise, you need to regulate!)

    Anyway, I hope you have recovered a little today, it didn't sound like a good day yesterday.
