I'm really curious about...

TheCatWoman

Why things like white noise others find soothing and I find really irritating and frequently painful?

Like vibrating things, I can't use an electric toothbrush because the vibrations tickle and itch, anything stronger than this like a massager and I find them painful too?

I see lots of threads about things like this and they're always things that are recomended to autistic people, but they don't work for me and I wonder why, if theres something wrong with me as these things are so common. Another one is fidget toys, they leave me cold, is it because I'm just autistic and don't have ADHD as well?

I feel like theres a lot of confusion about where one leaves off and the other begins and that not having ADHD as well is a bit of a disapointment to many professonals? Although I think so few of them actually listen properly they may just shove stuff at people that dosen't work for them and then don't have anything else left.

    This sounds like an issue with the display settings and is not one I think I could explain to you on here in a way you would understand (based on our previous discussions).

    There are 2 settings that are likely to cause this - one is the browser zoom setting and the other is on the Settings menu in Windows to do with the screen resolution and text size.

    If you have anyone visiting who is techie in nature then they should be able to find these and adjust them to the point it works for you.

    Sorry I can't do better than this but I know not to go down a technical rabbit hole for you.
