i cant find it now and i say this neutrally because people keep talking about autism in the tags lol, while i agree having low distress tolerance makes you easily manipulated and i suppose id conceed that an entitledness to eliminating anything that causes you discomfort is why there are confident racists i dont think that the distress tolerance needed to fix this and what needs to be done to deal with ??triggers, types of discomfort specific to autism are the same like unfortunately if youre autistic you are likely already doing distress tolerance constantly and from what ive seen through others accounts and peoples attempts to educate others on autism and what ive lived its not possible to change how these situations affect you. like you can work around it-- noise cancelling headphones and washing up gloves for example (and this is what i think you should be doing, mask it however you like if you want to be doing that) and this achieves the same end without the harm it causes in the long run. i cant speak on how misophonia works so i wont speak on whether it functions the same or you can learn to not be triggered by certain noises anymore. this is definitely true for other things like trauma triggers through healing your relationship with them etc whatever and i suppose that would be the same as the work racist boomers or bigoted whoevers have to do to stop being bigoted but since people are equating this with getting comfortable with being uncomfortable as an autistic person (not the op) i wanted to say that its a losing game and you have to be smarter while tackling the problem of how do i function in the world as an autistic person. feel free to ignore me im not about telling people what to do its just with mindsets like this they tend to fall through and you end up kind of disenfranchised in a hell of your own making where the people around you think autism works the way youve explained to them through making affirmations to yourself to force yourself to tolerate what you could be like working around i dont know. also my distress tolerance tips are all perverse and problematic so i cant help you there. when i had severe anger issues id just lay there and feel the feeling. ive become kind of a cunt lately so i should probs try it again but im still going to post this cause im not saying it angrily its just scary to see autistic people bringing up autism in this for the reasons ive said
