@yo.itz.kirby: Temple Grandin shares that sound sensitivity can be overwhelming for some autistic people. She recommends practical strategies such as using hearing protection in noisy environments, taking breaks in quiet spaces, and understanding your personal sensory triggers. #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismo #fypシ #movie
Temple thinks all people with autism.
are like her. We are not.

To people who are disagreeing: I don’t think she’s saying to never use headphones. She’s saying that people who use them all the time can become dependent on them, and it makes it so that they can’t tolerate noise without them. If you need them, use them, but also you can work on slowly increasing your tolerance so that you need them less.

As a late diagnosed autistic woman, I worry when I see young autistic girls wearing headphones all the time. unfortunately, women need to be hyper aware for safety 😢

Temple talks straight. People who think she is too harsh on autistic people aren't hearing what she's saying. All the things she's talking about I had done for myself, not knowing I was autistic. And when I started regressing, wearing headphones all the time DID make it worse. There are times I really need headphones or earbuds, but having them out is a good thing.

Are we ALL wearing our tism sound blinders? She literally said CARRY THEM WITH YOU when you hear an inappropriately loud sound. She wants people with autism to self regulating, independent people. Not locked in a bedroom with an iPad.

It’s cracking me up that folks are criticizing the way an autistic woman speaks about autistic people- in a very autistic way, no frills, no cushioning, just the facts.

She’s correct. I’ve worn noise cancelling headphones for almost 7 years constantly and my sensitivity to noise is worse than it used to be

Hyperacusis is a real thing and it is not fun. At all. But sound therapy does work, slowly developing tolerance to unpleasant sounds. It takes time.

I see alot of people blatantly stating ahes wrong, or lacks understanding. but here we are looking at someone with relativly profound autism who has become extremely successful and well educated across many realms. If her story doesnt resonate with you, find inspiration in someone's story that does. One doesnt need to try and invalidate her knowledge on the subject.

This! makes me so frustrated seeing autistic kids permanently wearing them, it's going to make life harder for them in the long run

She’s right!! I wore my Loops all the time for awhile and it was nice, but then when I would forget them, it was so much worse than before my Loops. I stopped wearing them all the time but kept them on me for specifically overwhelming situations. We can’t be afraid of exposure to stimuli. We have to build tolerance so that we can experience the world without fear.

Sound sensitivity, and many other aversions/sensitivities can ABSOLUTELY be helped by exposure. My son had HORRIBLE sensory issues and with lots of OT, he can handle almost anything.

Thats true. I have loop earbuds in my bag i only use if i feel of the brink of overstimulation.

the mental confidence of "i have my headphones *IF* I need them" makes sich a difference in my comfort when out in society

My daughter has autism AND hearing loss. When she gets overwhelmed, she just takes out her hearing aid. BUT we are working on her wearing them the majority of the time.

Is that why I could only tolerate the vacuum when I’m doing it?

thr vacuum thing is spot on.
I can vacuum just fine, but need to go into another room whenever someone else vacuums.

I hated my Next storm neighbours because they used to play their music really loud all day long and it was so annoying, but I would listen to my music full volume for hours😅
