Most autistic people struggle with sensoric overload due to a decreased ability to filter stimuli. In my case there are almost no special triggers but the multitude of stimuli, foremost accoustic ones, followed by visual ones, followed by haptic ones. For me it is very important to minimize them by using ANC, a basecap and/or sunglasses as well as large and soft clothes

Apart from that he most important thing is to recognize when I'm starting to melt down and then to grant myself a timeout as soon as possible. Therefore I had to learn what helps me to relax the most. Being in a room with only a little light and sound, read a book, play a game, watch my favourite TV series ... If in the office or the public I sometimes retreat to the toilet, which is embarassing to admit but kind of helps.

Moin,

ich hatte zur Zeit meiner Diagnose, also vor 10! Jahren, das Glück, dass die Warteliste der Autismusambulanz der Charité geöffnet war. Allerdings ist diese im Moment auch geschlossen.

Es gibt darüber hinaus auch Ärzte, die eine Diagnose anbieten. Allerdings, so mein Kenntnisstand, muss man das dann selbst bezahlen.

I got nothing to add to the comments already written but wanted to say "thanks for sharing", 'cause I'm in this mood now for weeks. It's like I'm waiting for something to happen without knowing what this something is. Luckily I'm going on holidays a few weeks from now. So: Thank you for sharing.

Though they are double the price you mentioned as a limit, I want to recommend the ones I'm using for other people in need of really good NC headphones coming to this thread.

I got myself refurbished Bose Quiet Comfort 45 and in my opinion they are perfect. I use them to blend out noise in public transport, museums, shopping malls, the office and so on. I can wear them for hours without my ears hurting or the battery running out. They really improved my quality of life.

Nah, I'm using it for work, to write proposals and documentation - that's all. And I always include a "written with AI" disclaimer.

Exactly what I did yesterday and it felt so good.

Actually it was my (former) partner, not me, who suggested it.

Thank you for sharing this! Will have a look into Krishnamurti's work and might even reread "Brave New World".

I'm both, in my job I'm mainly no. 2, while in my private life I'm a pain in the ass with mainly no. 1.

I am stuck in Xenoblade Chronicles III, I guess because it seems darker than I and II.

What I am constantly playing right now is Legend of Heros: Trails from Zero.

I am also looking forward to Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heros, though it might not be day one for me.

And I am looking into some Gamecube games again, mainly Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Tales of Symphonia, and Twilight Princess (my favorite LoZ game right after BotW).
