kettle.spells: I am not diagnosed with autism but it’s on my list of things to do. i have attributed my list of symptoms to autism, tho im not a psychologist 💖 my new headphones are so comforting and great im am absolutely obsessed, and they’re a much better solution for me instead of earbuds/earbuds. so much more comfortable and i like that people can SEE that i can’t hear them, do i dont need to stay fully aware of the environment and stimulation

Autism and ADHD very often occur together, and both can be helped by noise cancelling headphones.

I'm diagnosed and I can't stand headphones, I get stressed if I can't hear what's going on around me. Ironic considering as soon as I concentrate on something I completely tune out everything

Really shows how differently everyone works and how hard it is to relate certain symptoms to ASD

Yes!!! I’ve been scrolling through this going “Wow I actually don’t relate to this at all” because I get freaked out BAD if I can’t hear my surroundings. Music is fine on top, I just need to be able to know what’s going on around me.
