what’s crazy is when I was in DBT I met somebody actually diagnosed with ASD who shares a lot of the same auditory sensitivities I have, but like… way worse. and with misophonia and such. the sensitivity scale goes way higher than most humans will ever understand.

are you being distracted by their quiet but active activities or something?

correct, I got the “no perceptual filter for anything happening inside the house,” “can never stop masking unless alone” autism combined with being homeless and thus crashing on a couch with no door I can close
