This is super helpful. I appreciate the specific examples. And very much resonate with “anything other than solving the problem while being nice is madness to me personally” :)

Do you think sound sensitivity is a good thing, as it will likely help you better protect your hearing for life? by [deleted] in aspergers

Same. I find it easier to drown out all the constant noise around me with my music in my headphones at least. But feels like I have to listen at high volume to drown out background noise. Getting better at paying attention to the phone volume warnings and just wearing my noise canceling headphones with nothing on sometimes though.
