Gritted teeth, a single meow, "I'll be okay"

Too hot but the fan is too loud

Blackout curtains but still too bright

Mind is loud but the solutions are worse

Worried , healing purrs, and lovingly kneeding

Still too much but don't have the heart to chase them off

Nothing like spending a week at a family members house in peace and quiet than returning home and being forced to face how loud it is. I feel like I'm going to crawl out of my skin. Not only that but my cats missed me so I'm living the sweet torture of them constantly seeking my attention but followed by every noise is setting me off.

This is a mobile game love letter.

I jump around phone games but I inevitably come back to Zenkoi. It's such a perfect game. Predictable. No forced goals. No time outs (kinda, but the egg waits haven't forced me to stop playing). I've spent something like $2 CAD on it once so it has no popup ads.

Sensory issues? Zenkoi.
Out of executives? Zenkoi.
Need to kill a small amount of time and can't get absorbed into an activity? Zenkoi.

I was todays years old when I learned not everyone gets dizzy when blowing their nose. 😲
I've been having a very sensitive vestibular system for all my life (which is very common among people btw) and never gave it much thought, but maybe I do have more than I realised...

I need breakfast .

I used to eat oats, but started putting more fruit in it than there were oats.. which wasn't great ( and fruit has a lot of sugar) and was getting expensive.

I had muesli and yoghurt for a while, but the only muesli I can eat also pushes my blood glucose too high.

Then I started eating weetbix, which is ok for my but I'm now at the point where I'm adding sugar to it, which is bad.

I have a disorder, issues, with issues and I'm pretty sure I have . I have with some foods.

Does anyone have any suggestions or help? Because I can't keep eating rice crispy treats for breakfast...

Thank you! 😊

(also, please don't give me advice on how to lose weight. I'm just trying to feed myself in a way that won't make me sick)

When I think of issues at a hair salon, the first thing I think of is like for me, the blow-dryer and the music and the other talkers or the smells of hair treatments.

But it occurred to me the other day when I was just getting a hair cut in an empty salon, there are so many aspects from start to finish for those of us who have or or or heck just have let alone find oneself I'm this hetero world.

First you have to decide you want/need to go. When my hair is long enough to be on my neck it causes sensory issues, then I decide I need to go and hyped fixate on that I need to go to get my hair cut for weeks.

Next you have to decide where to go. Do you want to make an appointment, do you want to pay a lot? I know there are many good reasons to go to some place pricey but my mind goes "it's just hair it will grow back, it's too expensive!"(if it's terrible I don't think that anymore, I'm crushed)

Then what are you going to do with your hair, how are you going to communicate that with the person cutting your hair? For years I've done way too much research online, googling photos of people w the hair I want, figuring out the language they use online to describe it. I've printed pages of pics and wrote down a script to describe what I want. However when I bring this out at the salong, they always look at me weird.

Is Your Yoga Class Too Fast To Be Accessible?
Imagine your student cuing up your yoga video. You walk them through the sun salutation at a moderate speed; you think you're doing it slowly enough. Then, you tell your student you're going to do them more quickly. You might even suggest 10 sun salutations in 5 minutes, which

Even though I have issues with screen readers from time to time, I want it to be clear that I think they serve an essential function and should be a required part web and software of .

My personal do not invalidate their importance or the hard work developers put into them. It just means I get grumpy when overstimulated.

I wanted a silly sticker to put on my noise-cancelling headphones. I came up with this, but it has potential to be offensive*. What do you think? Funny or bad?

*To be clear, I don't care if NT people find it offensive, but I don't want to offend any other neurodiverse people.

We're going to switch things up at the museum on Jan. 29 for people who can be overwhelmed by input. We'll adjust the volume, lighting and special effects and make a quiet room available. No reservation required.

Foods that you find causes sensory trouble? Having salmon tonight and my family cooked it to dry and darkened on top, and too many bones in the fish. 😫

I wrote a thing about my personal experiences and how we need to take the quality HVAC technology into consideration when we talk about whether buildings are accessible. Could anyone recommend a place that might be interested in publishing something like this?

When your washing machine breaks & you have to just deal with sensory issues vs sending your kid to school without pants…
…6 loads of laundry later ☹️

Does anyone else have sensory issues with hand lotion?? I can’t stand the feeling of it sitting on my hands, but now it’s winter and my hands are uncomfortably dry. Any suggestions? @actuallyautistic

I've been seeing a lot of content warnings about art with and I've been like...what's the big deal?

But just now I copied some comments into my from another source and I had to change all the starting letters to lowercase because the uppercase was making me uncomfortable.

Was freaking out earlier, frustrated and ragey and overstimulated and overheated and hated everything...and then I exchanged the blanket I was using with one that had a texture that I didn't make me psychologically scream and suddenly I wanted to live again lmao
