@trevorcarroll_: A reminder that accommodations are meant to help the person using them, not make sense to everyone else. What works for one autistic person may not work for another, and that’s okay. I’m curious: what’s an accommodation you use that other people don’t always understand? #autism #accommodations #neurodivergent #autistic #sensoryissues

The decision fatigue this leads to can be overwhelming too. Like our brains are already operating at 120% at all times and people still expect us to make the best choices for everything every second of every day. Sometimes we just need to do what's best for US because our brains are exhausted and we physically can't consider another perspective.

My grandson is almost 9 years old and he's autistic and high on the spectrum. He has little things here and there that he does things differently. Doesn't mean it's the wrong way to do things. You do you and quite frankly if people don't like it oh well. And you shouldn't have to explain anything. I love your videos. There are so many things I have learned from your videos that have helped me realize subjects that have given me options to be there for my grandson the way he needs me to be there. One of things is his sensory issues. One of his sensory problems is brushing his teeth. He hates the toothpaste on his teeth and the toothbrush rubbing on his teeth and gums. We're still working on a way to accommodate him in this area. Thank you for sharing with all of us. You're a blessing.

I think people need to realize that autistic people have already gone through every scenario in their brain. We have thought about it over and over more than they ever could ever imagine. Not all help is helpful.

Nothing will bring me to the verge of a meltdown quicker than touching an already wet hand towel. So yes, team paper towel here as well! 😎

I can't stand anything dirty on my hands. I gag every time it happens 😭 Cooking is a nightmare for me. I honestly feel honored and loved to have a husband who is willing to do the dirty work for me.

Having anything sticky on my hands is the absolute worst. I've had long hair most of my life and I can't put any hair products in it because I run my finger through my hair all day. Cooking I have the water turned on the whole time so I can put my hands in every 10 seconds.

I do the same exact thing! Cooking overstimulates me so much it usually looks like a tornado ran through the kitchen after 😭 let me know if you find an alternative solution to this. I’ve tried reusable towels but it also feels dirty to me. Specially because I’m touching food !

I hear that, I use gloves especially if I have to do my children’s hair or my own, washing. Every one has their own accommodations so don’t knock people down. Well done Trevor, you’re absolutely fine.

I always use paper towels and paper plates and the same cutlery at home, I also can't stand bedding if its not cotton, and not the soft type either, I love soft textures like throws, plushes and my cats but when it comes to like bedding or towels I need more of a crisp material if that makes sense. Thank you for making this video and showing everyone that we all have our differences and there is no need to judge how others live their lives as its important to do the things that make life more comfortable xx

That’s exactly how I am, now that you brought it up might be a reason why I have only cooked a meal a total of 20-40 times if you count ramen with eggs. I also get really upset with people who don’t rinse off their dishes and put it in there with stuff all over it. I get upset because it makes me super overstimulated when I touch it I’ve cried a couple times when the texture of wet food that sat in a bowl for two days is too much. I’m a wipe person because it’s easy to wipe down anything even when you don’t have access to water. I try to use dish rags on the counters and hand towels to dry off/wipe down the bathroom counter.

That’s how I feel every time somebody suggests ear defenders, but my issue is not noises. It’s physical touch. I don’t want anything on my head.

I wash my hands a lot when I’m cooking too. I don’t care how many paper towels I use. It’s not a burden on anyone. I only use my kitchen towels to dry dishes.

I have always been this way with my hands and washing my hands and paper towels (with late diagnosis – now I know why). I try to be green / sustainable when I can and consciously try to balance it out. I think about this stuff all the time.

THIS. I am the exact same way. We need to give ourselves the proper accommodations to try to keep our nervous systems regulated.

Every reusable water bottle I've ever owned has met a tragic, moldy, end. I will usually get a bottle of water and refill it for as long as possible and if I do forget about it I'll throw it away and start again. Is it optimal for the planet ? No but it's the best I can do

I feel this!! I use rubber gloves for the same reasons for a lot of stuff especially loading the dishwasher. I hate the waste but it’s something the helps me get things done in my life. ❤️

“There’s a reason for the things that I do” - honestly this is the problem right here. Apparently most people in the world just do things and never actually think about their actions

I agree and do the same thing. I then use the damp paper towels to wipe something down so they aren’t “wasted” i love paper towels and dislike dish towels for the same reasons.

I understand, and we're all different because I don't like drying my hands with paper towels because to me they do leave a weird sticky like residue but I can also understand not wanting to use a wash cloth because they leave behind fuzz

from the perspective of someone who deals with this, I really appreciate you talking about this. I know it took negative comments to get you here, but really this is the stuff that nobody talks about. everybody should hear what it takes to live in the world that we live in. More people should do this. no notes for you
