• RE: What did you do today?

    I had a job interview. It went I hope well. And I got some points for my attention to details as there was water flowing on wooden parts and I informed the boss about it. He was amazed and thanked me. This job would be in logistics and warehouse, so something…

  • Accepting myself

    I’ve slightly opened my prison door. I wouldn’t say I’m fully liberated. Not yet. Hopefully soon.

    I’ve realised that I’m fine. I’m fine being me. Deep down I knew it all along but I kept denying it. 

    I’ve spent years…

  • RE: Occupational Health Team

    I think it would really be specific to you but I think of  mainly sensory issues, if they can’t reduce lighting or noise impact then allowing you to wear earplugs/glasses etc. separate lunch arrangements if you can’t stand the smell of food, a safe place…

  • RE: Help please

  • RE: Relationship

    One thing I've found that helps enormously with going to pubs / out for a meal is my Flare Audio Isolate earplugs. Best £25 I ever spent. Most of the time, if it's a loud environment, people I'm with are raising their voices enough for me to hear them…

  • RE: Live music and venues!

    Music and especially live music is a really important part of my life, I try to see a band at least once a month.

    I used to take my daughter, she is now an adult and an autist herself, she plays bass in an all girl heavy metal band, after studying music…

  • RE: Eating

    A potential issue is that forcing her to eat with you without earplugs or headphones might make the problem much worse. If she finds it unbearable but is made to endure it, it could reach a point where she has a total breakdown, and speaking from personal…

  • RE: My sensory issues feels like hallucinations

    Do you have the sound issues while you're actually asleep too? I've been woken up by the slight clicking noise that the heating makes turning on if the temperature drops too low in the night, my partner's key in the door downstairs, and I have to turn…

  • RE: Line Anxiety

    The neurotypical world is noisy, and, by and large, neurotypical people are themselves inclined to be noisy. In large groups, they become even louder. I think this is why so many of them need to retreat to nature to be able to experience the peace and…
