Have you ever wondered about the world of sounds, or more specifically, how individuals on the autism spectrum perceive it?

Auditory processing, the way we understand and interpret sounds, can be markedly different for people with autism. Some may experience a heightened sensitivity to sound, leading to what is termed 'auditory hypersensitivity'. This can make certain noises - that may seem normal to neurotypical individuals - overwhelmingly loud or unbearable.

On the other hand, some may have 'auditory hyposensitivity', meaning they might not respond to sounds in their environment as one would typically expect. They might not respond to their name being called, for instance, but are captivated by the hum of a washing machine.

It's a reminder that our senses craft a unique and individual perception of the world around us, and this varies greatly in the autism community. One person's cacophony could be another's symphony!

Remember, this is a space to learn, grow, and share our experiences. Don't hesitate to ask questions or share your stories!

Our latest meme focusses on auditory processing and how it feels from an #ActuallyAutistic perspective.   [Image description: Person overbalancing three boxes on a wooden floor with a white wall.]   [Text description: Autism Actually.

I know I don’t like eye contact but that doesn’t mean don’t look towards me when you speak to me.

I still need to actually hear what you’re saying

Addendum: Stuttered Speech and Delayed Understanding

While watching EX-020 stutter its way out of the thermal printer, something old surfaced. I remembered my own stammer. I went to speech therapy as a child — part of being deaf, part of not catching the ‘S’ sounds, part of something else maybe. And I wondered: Could that disfluency — the struggle to get a word out — have been more than articulation? Could it have been APD? A quick search later, and: Source: NumberAnalytics blog So maybe that pause, the disjointed speech — it wasn’t just physical. Maybe the machine and I aren’t so different after all.

🖨️ EX-016: Instant Signal

EX-016-Handshake-Denied.txt printed in under half a second — a sudden emergence, as if the expression had been there all along, just waiting to be revealed. Many of the ASCII expressions in the EZRA archive print this way — sharply, instantly — like a clean cognitive handoff. Signal received. There’s something deeply poetic about a thermal printer delivering an emotion in less time than it takes to blink. You don’t read it, you feel it.
