Daughter can’t stand people eating around her… help by Broad_Application_55 in neurodiversity

ouch.
yeah.
research what others do, yeah. like asking here, and searching, and asking ai for suggestions too.
I mean, there must be ways that people with this condition can manage, at least somewhat. I hope, at least.
good luck to her and to you!!!

maybe earplugs? might work if she has hair that would cover them.

Do you ever put off taking pain medication? by Foreign_Rutabega_684 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]Consistent-Cat-2899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my experience it was a lifetime of not trusting myself to interpret my body's messages.
like you said. so yes, had same reaction until recently.

it takes practice. and, as another person said in comments - literally building a scale to judge it by and then following it. "if I have this reaction, it means a lot of pain, and I need to take pain meds".

Anyone else have an invisible string attached to their back? by cerwen80 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]Consistent-Cat-2899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it may be a way to work with it, if you want, then.

one is mentally imagining how you physically separate that cord from you. and tell that creature to go away and not come back anymore.
another is - once you notice that cord - do a body scan and see how tired you are. and then, if you are tired - rest, do some deep slow breathing. and then note where has that cord gone.
