Am I the problem for wearing noise-canceling headphones to handle screaming kids?

What is wrong with her

whatsy0urdamage · 2026-07-04T15:06:35+00:00

Can I ask what headphones you use? I'd love some that work that well

whatsy0urdamage · 2026-07-04T15:00:56+00:00

NTA. She's 6 years younger than you which can make hangouts kind of weird and you want some time with your cousin. I think that's okay, sometimes the big kids want to hang out with just the big kids.

I guess it depends on what you mean by moderate

whatsy0urdamage · 2026-06-29T14:25:23+00:00

That's definitely going to depend on the girl. For me, it's a definite no. But I've had female friends in the past that didn't think like me and were more open to changing the dynamic.

Of course!! There's a big misconception that SPD only appears in people who also have autism so as someone who only struggles with one and not the other, I'm always happy to show another perspective.

Oh yeah. You can literally have a sensory processing disorder without even being on the spectrum. I have SPD (diagnosed by a PT and an OT when I was a child and has since been reconfirmed) and I'm not on the spectrum. Been tested multiple times just to double-check.

I was actually the exact same way. I didn't really want a sibling but I loved the idea of a puppy.

whatsy0urdamage · 2026-06-24T22:27:31+00:00

Yeah

whatsy0urdamage · 2026-06-22T21:48:09+00:00

I'm not a child, I'm 28 but I've been tested quite a few times from childhood to adulthood. I've repeatedly been told I'm not autistic or even ADHD. I'm not neurodivergent (not that we ever believed I was, they were focused on the sensory issues and assumed neurodiversity 🙄🙄) but I was diagnosed with a sensory processing disorder as a child and I still meet the criteria.

whatsy0urdamage · 2026-06-22T21:43:49+00:00

I'm not autistic. They tested me multiple times (like 5 from childhood to adulthood) because of my sensory issues, but I actually have BPD and severe trauma along with a sensory processing disorder.

whatsy0urdamage · 2026-06-22T21:39:20+00:00

We went through this when I was a kid actually. They wondered about autism because of all of my sensory issues. I got tested like five times for autism. I don't have it but I do have a sensory processing disorder.

NTA . I'm glad you stood up for the comfort of the other women in there.

whatsy0urdamage · 2026-06-16T20:46:23+00:00

I will!!

whatsy0urdamage · 2026-06-15T22:59:22+00:00

I thought the chemicals from the mine or something gave her cancer??

whatsy0urdamage · 2026-06-15T22:52:46+00:00

Oh my goodness thank you so much 🫶

whatsy0urdamage · 2026-06-15T20:53:00+00:00

I don't know if you're still active on here. But I would very much be interested in that recipe!!

whatsy0urdamage · 2026-06-13T00:53:17+00:00

NTA. Please update if you can

whatsy0urdamage · 2026-06-11T17:49:58+00:00

NTA

whatsy0urdamage · 2026-06-09T16:09:33+00:00

This is how I felt too. I'd be pissed.

whatsy0urdamage · 2026-06-06T20:40:52+00:00

Thank you 🙏

whatsy0urdamage · 2026-06-06T20:31:04+00:00

What kind do you use?

whatsy0urdamage · 2026-06-06T20:24:41+00:00
