#sound sensitive

"Is the ringing I hear an electric appliance or just in my ear?" The never ending question

i’m very sorry for never posting any soundlists. i made and set up this account late at night and forgot about it for months. 

i think i’d like to have a team of mods, so we could all work on soundlists together/do multiple at once (since it’s rather difficult doing it all on your own, and would take a while. we would also remind eachother to do the lists instead of forgetting!)

if you’d be interested in becoming a co-mod for soundsenitivetheatre, please dm me!

Every tutorial, other artist, people I talk to about sewing: use a sewing machine, it's faster, and easier

My autistic sounds sensitive ass: no

Them: but-

Me; noise bad. I'll take longer, harder and my beat up fingers over noise machine

For eight consecutive years I was in a choir—

—with weekly performances, musicals twice a year, vocal training out the wazoo. And I might not be as competent a singer today as I was five years ago, but sometimes when people talk too loudly and I get annoyed I’ll still instinctively hiss “SOTTO VOCE, SOTTO VOCE” at the offending parties because that’s how my director always told the sopranos to shut up during rehearsal and it just stuck.

Sudden sounds remind me that I’m always 1 loud noise away from a migraine

What it's like to be an autistic who is sensitive to sounds

It's super quiet to other people, but to you, there is:

Cars passing

Plane s flying by

The sound of the TV box thing s inside parts moving

The sound of your partner's breaths

Tummy growls

Hand movement on stuff

The tapping of fingers on phones

And the sounds of the house like the heater, water running, or any other number of things.

"Oh how are you scared of/triggered by loud noises you live in a house with a bunch of kids and people from completely different age ranges? That's stupid, you should be used to it, Your parents should be forcing you to get used to it hahaha-" SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

I may be only 30 years old but I am an extremely sound-sensitive autistic and every day I wish to gods that one of those senior living communities would make an exception for me. No kids running around? Idyllic. No one playing music loud enough to shake the building on a Wednesday evening? Perfection. No neighborhood assholes making donuts on the streets at 2 in the morning? Sign me up. No parked cars honking, no people having yelling fights over nothing on the sidewalks, no random fireworks, no one driving down the alley behind my house at midnight with their bass blasting. It would be heaven.

All of these things I can tolerate, but in *moderation*. When it's every single day, when even the place I live is not a sanctuary I can escape to, I get worn out. So quickly. I love my beautiful apartment, but I cannot handle the constant screaming and sprinting of the toddler upstairs. I cannot handle the loud music our neighbor plays some evenings. I cannot handle all the goddamn honking and engine revving and speaker blasting. I didn't ask to be this sensitive, I try to control my environment so that I can be comfortable, but there's no where else I can go. It's every day, all the time.
