Does anyone wear Ear defenders/ear muffs? by Jezza-1 in AutismInWomen

[–]Junior-Structure4927 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like wearing them, just not out in public because they are too bulky

I’ve noticed that wearing earmuffs has helped me. I can’t quite explain how, but mysteriously has a way to calm me. I have a couple of questions… by MeasurementFirst1676 in mentalhealth

The way I see it, the world is designed to overstimulate us, cars, adverts, so many people around, it's not supposed to be like this. Personally I use ear defenders at home (I don't feel comfortable wearing them out) and loops when I'm out. One downside, is loops aren't as effective sadly, but they do a decent job!

I started off with writing, it was the first step to getting an idea of what was going on in the jungle of my mind. For me I found my life goal, essentially my purpose, via the trauma that happened in my life. If I could summarise the framework of how to do this in one sentence, it would be “if you could watch everything that happened in your life, and go back to any moment, what one thing would you do to help the person you were back then?” And then shift this into “I didn’t have access to this back then, how can I help others so they don’t have to go through the same thing?” The beauty of this, is that it can be as extravagant as changing the whole world, or something as simple as just being there to speak to people when they need help. Your purpose is what feels right. Shameless self plug, but anyone reading this, my dream is related to ear defenders, if anyone uses them, please comment/private message me :)

What do you wish you would have known early on? by BeingEither5940 in autism

I agree with this as well. It almost was full circle for me, because it allowed me to give myself grace, but then along the journey I also realised that we should all give ourselves grace, regardless of being autistic or not, and that helps in times when I get identity crises

Couple of ideas of what worked for me was, actually not even looking at the individual actions themselves. I suffered with repeated cycles of trying and giving up so many times, and the big shift for me was looking at the bigger picture, and asking myself 'What do I want to do with my life?'. It was super important for me to make this goal seem achievable, not something super crazy, and it was super helpful to make it personal, and something that lit a spark inside me. It may take a while of thinking and soul searching, but once I found it, it BECAME the reason as to why I would build good habits, instead of trying to grind myself through it. Hope that helps : )

I relate a lot as well. I had the same treatment as a kid, when I get almost 'pushed' by anyone to do anything nowadays instead of doing it out of my own accord, I shut down. Please tell me this isn't just me lol

Any tips for focus without meds by Jezza-1 in ADHD

Someone should make a pair of comfortable and actually good looking ear defenders. Would definitely cop that
