So I just discovered background sounds on my iPad and it’s a game changer. I use asoftmurmur.com but if I’m not connected to internet, or I want it running behind whatever I’m listening to, it doesn’t work.
It’s really great! I can have it running constantly in the background.

I got myself a pair of #sony wireless in-ear headphones, the #wf1000xm6. If you have #sensory overload issues, and/or you just like listening to music I highly recommend them.

The Active Noise Cancellation is absolutely magical. It makes sitting on a bus sound like sitting in a quiet room.

It's almost as good as my big over the ear (WH-1000XM4) noise cancellation.

I don't normally do product recommendations but I think this could be life changing for someone.

Hi! I have a question for everyone who experiences sensory hypersensitivity, whether as a result of being neurodivergent or due to various conditions or illnesses that can cause this kind of sensitivity.

What are your experiences with underwear? What bothers you the most, and what features do you find desirable or necessary for comfort?

I’m primarily interested in bras, but not exclusively. I’d love to hear about anything you wear directly against your body that falls under the broad category of underwear/lingerie.

I’d like to identify common themes shared by many people, while also understanding the full range and diversity of your experiences.

I’m planning to write an article about this for a lingerie industry magazine, with the aim of making lingerie manufacturers and retailers more aware of the needs of people with sensory hypersensitivity.

Boosts appreciated!

If physical sensations and emotions have seemed non-relevant to you, the way they did to me for most of my life, here's an idea worth considering. 1/3

Maybe there's a reason you're not doing that thing.

Maybe there's a sensory issue. Maybe it's overwhelming your nervous system. Maybe you physically or cognitively don't know how to do it.

So your brain defaults to just not doing it. 1/2

Session Announcement! Sensory needs and differences impact literally every single one of us. From those of us that use this as a kink like deprivation, to a neurodivergent coping or stimming mechanism. Registration opens 1-September

A common thing when you start exploring sensory stuff is that you find all this stuff that you’ve been shutting out, you’ve been working to dissociate from, to ignore, to numb, or to cancel out in various ways.

And it just feels like everything is just more annoying rather than helping. 1/3

My anxiety about going into spaces that were bright and noisy and crowded wasn't just anxiety. They really were bright and noisy and crowded. And that hurt.
(I didn't always know about sensory sensitivities. I just knew I didn't like it, or that I got migraines.)

How was I supposed to ""just get over"" the migraine I got every time I went to the grocery store?

Jfc I got a lot of mileage out of one goddamn screenshot but hey!
My b/Blind and vision-impaired or sight-loss fellows shall feast tonight!

… If any of you care about niche multi-layered terminology for humorous agenerational interconnective co-created commentary on base genuine media, surprises, commentary, and intersections of such!

You goddamn linguistic nerds!!

Ooh, I feel like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrHGbCyAqOU is structurally related.
OMG. THAT’S HOW ADHD BRAINS CONNECT IDEAS.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQKGUgOfD8U

AuHD or AudHD (urgh, I hate that initialism) people connect ideas by their structural relevance (and personal ascription of importance).
And, apparently, Neurotypical, neuro default, or neuro expected people connect ideas by narrative relevance! And, frankly, also how much importance they ascribe to the narrative, topic, or relevance.

Omg I’m an edu blogger?! This is like finding out that non-binary gender was an option! Holy shit.

#TopicTuesday Long Read: Disability Inclusion within Brimbank.
My first question raided at this months council meeting was as follows:
“Brimbank's 2022-2026 Disability Action Plan was released around 4 months ago, yet there is no reference to Neurodivergent people (other than reference to a symbol identifier), let alone any planning to ensure their inclusion in our community. Neurodivergent people should not need to wait until 2026 before their barriers to inclusion in Brimbank events will be considered, so what action is Brimbank City Council taking, to ensure their inclusion is possible at council run events?”
