An idea for your consideration:
Autistic students and faculty with iron-weighted vests, protective glamours for verbal stims/echolalia, invisibility charms as comfort items. With ear defenders on to protect from overwhelming sounds, it’s harder to hear strange voices calling. You quickly learn to modify stims so they double as protective acts, that the things you need to do to function at home can also keep you safer with just a few tweaks. It’s a relief when you learn that nobody here will bat an eye at the same things kids at home called you “freak” for. They think they understand, and in a way, they do.
