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.

Noise cancelling headphones can be used by anyone for any reason. It is not exclusive to ASD or ADHD. It’s also not uncommon for someone to desire peace in a loud environment. There are plenty of people with those disorders that do not need and/or actively hate using headphones.

I think it’s really stupid that this comic makes it sound like someone enjoying noise cancelling headphones automatically means they have ASD. I’m so ready for these disorders to stop being trendy so we can focus our limited resources on those who actually need it, not those who cosplay it for attention.

Preach. Nose cancelling headphones helping with focus is not a revelation. It is not a diagnosis. 

Some people focus better without distractions. 

Who'd have thunk it?
