By the way, every autistic person’s experiences are different.
Some autistic people hate loud music. I thrive with it.
Some autistic people don’t mind notifications, but I do.
Hence why it’s a spectrum.

@atomicpoet lol this viewpoint is always hilarious to hear. People are different, can you imagine!?! Ps not high scoring on self assessments, but I too hate over notification from some apps @atomicpoet I hate notifications because I feel compelled to read and respond to them first. Even if I’m in the middle of something. Same with unread email. I like noise of some kind on all the time, but it’s specific, almost ritualistic what I listen to and no music, only words after 6pm. Like caffeine. <g> Ain’t the spectrum fascinating. @atomicpoet I always think of autism as an umbrella term covering various degrees of varying neurodivergencies. And as it's a spectrum we are all of us on it somewhere. ❤️ |
@atomicpoet I don't know if or what I could be diagnosed with, but if I couldn't turn off alerts, I'd throw my computer out the window. Same with the red dots and loud music.
"Normal" is highly over-rated, and for many it seems to be how much peer pressure affects a person's tolerance to many things, as many are afraid of being seen as different.
