Added 2023-03-05 15:07:31 +0000 UTC00:00:00 - intro
00:05:56 - I often get sensory overload from certain situations. I tend to get snappy & mean to my husband when this happens. Any tips I can use to calm down quickly?
00:27:31 - I constantly change my opinions when I hear other people's opinions. I want to be able to stick to my opinion confidently. Any tips?
00:41:32 - My friends recently have been treating me differently from when they used to. They seem annoyed with me, and they do not want to talk about it when I've tried talking to them about it. Am I overthinking things?

Have you ever looked into auditory processing disorder?

2024-09-25 01:08:33 +0000 UTCSo I’m not autistic (pretty sure) but I do really dislike the feeling of sensory overload when multiple people are talking at once. I feel like as soon as two people speak the audio tracks immediately merge in my brain and I only process like 5% of the words. I sometimes have to be in a room where 60 people talk pretty much all at once in their own little groups and it triggers the same feeling. My solution is to literally just ignore whatever I’m “supposed to” listen to. Like bro, I have a policy, if two people are speaking at once I hear 0 of them that’s just how it works. I’m not mad, it’s just the policy. You want me to pay attention? One at a time homie. In the 60 person example I do try to do my best because I owe my group my effort, but I won’t work so hard I make myself angry. So if your partner doesn’t understand your sensory overload there’s no reason to get mad. I’d just ignore them. Do not stress yourself by trying to listen to everything. It’s all white noise and only accept the responsibility of processing it once your needs are met.

2023-03-10 19:18:15 +0000 UTC**Reposted comment from video version** As an autistic person, I wanted to respond to the sensory overwhelm anger question. Over the years Ive gotten slightly better at recognizing when I am overwhelmed and about to snap at someone over nothing, but I’ve found you can only make so much progress there. It’s not normal anger. It can go from zero to RAGE before you even realize what you’re saying. The best strategy I’ve found is sort of “predicting the future” in a sense to stop yourself from ever nearing that threshold. For example if I’m watching tv and there’s a fan making noise one room over, even if it’s not bothering me whatsoever, I will turn it off. If the dryer is going and making noise I’ll put on my headphones. If the neighbors cut their grass that morning and I can smell it, I’ll put on a mask. Even though none of it was bothering me. Because let’s say an hour later I stub my toe. The pain and sensation from stubbing my toe after smelling grass all morning, while the squeaky fan had been on since yesterday, plus the noisy dryer running for the last hour COMBINED would be enough to make me snap. But if I had stopped all those other inputs prior while they were benign now all I have to deal with is my toe, which I can breathe through and handle. It can be annoying to constantly manage yourself/your surroundings trying to predict what could turn bad for you, but it is better than snapping at the people you love. And if you share with them that you are trying to improve and take these measures so it doesn’t happen, they’ll be much more understanding the few times it DOES happen bc they will see your effort and know you don’t want to be that person. Sorry this was long! But I thought it was worth sharing for the person that asked the question and anyone else that might find it helpful.
