As a woman who experienced abuse I don't wear earphones in public. For me I am more scared of predatory humans than sensory overload. This is my choice. I understand that everyone is different.

[alllovemark]

I cant stand being in public and not being in complete awareness of my surroundings. It would only miltiply the anxiety which is already high enough

[ACF_Real]

People get mad at me for apologizing and I apologize for a apologizing and then they get mad at me again and I’m sitting there in a loop, I hate it.

[TheKjoy]

I apologize to my mom and my brother the most because I live with them. Every time I apologize to my brother for my autism interfering with what I was trying to do, such as cook dinner, he reassures me that it is okay and that he isn't mad at me. I have found that if I am apologizing for something, I am usually frustrated with myself over that particular limitation.

I don't go anywhere without my attenuation filter earplugs. The only place I went to yesterday that I didn't keep them in was my grandpa's house. I fell asleep in his recliner while my mom assembled his dinner.

Fwiw, today is the 2nd day in a row I didn't force myself thru a situation that I knew I wasn't emotionally capable of. Needed to share that one somewhere, this seemed like a great spot.

I agree, don’t go into uncomfortable situations, no one force you, protect your mind, protect your energy, try to be in comfortable place as much as possible for your mental health.
Never apologize for your behavior, you did nothing wrong.
I don’t carry headphones, because I have sensitive skin, I got allergies with the fabric on them, also after a time it hurt my hear, I prefer to be really aware of what happen around me, including sound, be aware of the possibles dangers. I am vulnerable, as if I was an animal 🦔.

My old job was a factory, loud. Bright, lots of people, bad smells. I did number 3 for a YEAR and then had a melt down for 2 weeks, had to go to the doctor and got put on short term disability. Don't do this to yourself, learn to recognize your needs and don't ignore them!

[whitsfiryellnogobyye]

I used to make all 3. Now, after several years of working on allowing myself to be autistic and imperfect, I dont apologise to others (for basically being human), I'm improving my skills at removing myself from uncomfortable situations and I'm pretty good at saying no to foreseen ones, and I also carry earplugs with me all the time now I know I have hyper-sensitive senses. 😊 I hope everyone can have the ability to protect and care for themselves ❤

[Mc_fox.Mgc]

I wear jeadphones 24/7 except for when im asleep also i only stim around my family or alone also i don't do uncomfortable situations because im never around in always somewhere quiet and if it is loud and crowded at church I'll go into the pastors office and play the piano to distract myself

[yuuokami]

Wearing headphones in public is dangerous if they cancel out too much noise. It's no different from wearing a neon sign that says "I'm not paying attention, please attack me." I'd rather deal with the possibility of sensory overload than opening myself up to danger. Honestly, noise canceling or not, headphones just sounds like a bad idea.

[astrolater]

Can you make more videos about OCD symptoms? I have a suspicion that I have OCD but I don't know enough about it.

[bexie]

The third one is impossible not to do though when you live on your own. I have to do my shopping.

[shawnholbrook]

My culture still views Autism and Adhd quirks as controllable choices that we make to misbehave or cause problems. (why would anyone ever Do that?!) like, why would I ever choose to fail a test, or give a wrong answer?

[purple_amethyst]

Music is one of the things I use to calm myself when I'm overloaded. I don't like loud noises but I listen to metal. That makes no sense whatsoever!!🤦

[ccaatttiraffe]

I was so curious as to what mistakes I've been making, and I chuckled at each one because you're absolutely right. It's a shame when I finally bring my headphones only for them to need a charge 🙈

[carms.dreams]

I am autistic and I don't have that sensory overload with hearing as much as I do with other senses. I may apologize for some of my issues but what I stopped doing ages ago is force myself through uncomfortable situations (unless it's necessary like attending a school concert to see my son perform etc). Autistic people are all different. It would be good to look at it from that lense and not make it look like their experience and habits are all the same.

[DarkendOceans]

As someone with autism, I didn’t realize how much I made the 3rd one. “I’m sorry for what I am” i didn’t realize how much I said it.

[jewellstone]

Is over-apologizing an Aspie thing? I do it SO often about everything, though I don't mean to. I get called down for it a lot and without thinking I immediately apologize for apologizing too much. 🤦‍♀️ Can you expand what you mean by #3 please?

[CheekieCharlie]

Could you talk more about the ease in which I can go through many days without eating? I never feel hunger and it's wrecking my health

[Thatseagull]

When I was three I could not speak. The doctors told my mom that she would never hear me say “ i love you” I have had much help and can now speak. I proved the doctors wrong.
