It would be awesome to have two of those chairs and put them together

[maddiemae]

They need that in schools! I don’t want to have to hide in the disgusting bathroom when it smells like weed and poop just bc I’m overstimulated (and that stuff doesn’t help)

[cunnieseverywhere]

yes, i also like to sit in my giant pill after i get angry.

[MrTaylorAries]

I used to have spots that I could see people and they would not see me and come bother me then I started going home between my split so I could really relax and it was the best move….sometimes you just gotta go

[littlejoestar]

this is why i use the bathroom a lot at school/work, although it would be nice to have an additional private space that doesn’t smell awful 😭

[CaliforniaBabe]

If that had a privacy shade that would be perfect

[AnnabeanIwaskidding]

The real people know this song only from Goat Simulator 😂

[lizslocum]

This would never work. They'd just pop their head in and continue bugging you.

[julia_simone]

they need these everywhere, i always have to go to a bathroom stall and it’s gross in there

[CassandraHouse]

No way that was the Goat Simulator music!

[N.Sardone]

There’s a bunch of these type of things where I work. Unfortunately, they are all in the “office space” areas tho. And I definitely definitely don’t work in any of the offices 🤷🏻‍♀️
Some have doors like little glass pods others have like a mini picnic table with a light and power bar. They are neat.

[Miawallce]

Lol!! I'm old skool neuro diverse . I just went to the bathroom. Still do now!!

[LilTigerRae]

Case me in with 2 of those chairs like am egg 🥚 😭

[preetione]

Yesss have it facing a wall so no one knows its a seat 😂

[nunyabusiness]

needs a curtain so I can be in the dark

[purityall]

I feel like these chairs would draw attention to the person sitting in it and the fact that other people know you’re feeling overstimulated might negate the effects of the partial isolation. Maybe that’s just my own self consciousness speaking.

[ladydread]

Maybe not right in front of others...rather just be able to go to a small room that could have multiple purposes so as not be everyones topic for the day 😔

[sylvm.]

Ohhh noooo. Shoes on the cushion. That really annoyes me😢

[Syrailia]
