  • Most autistic people struggle with sensoric overload due to a decreased ability to filter stimuli. In my case there are almost no special triggers but the multitude of stimuli, foremost accoustic ones, followed by visual ones, followed by haptic ones. For me it is very important to minimize them by using ANC, a basecap and/or sunglasses as well as large and soft clothes

    Apart from that he most important thing is to recognize when I’m starting to melt down and then to grant myself a timeout as soon as possible. Therefore I had to learn what helps me to relax the most. Being in a room with only a little light and sound, read a book, play a game, watch my favourite TV series … If in the office or the public I sometimes retreat to the toilet, which is embarassing to admit but kind of helps.






  • Though they are double the price you mentioned as a limit, I want to recommend the ones I’m using for other people in need of really good NC headphones coming to this thread.

    I got myself refurbished Bose Quiet Comfort 45 and in my opinion they are perfect. I use them to blend out noise in public transport, museums, shopping malls, the office and so on. I can wear them for hours without my ears hurting or the battery running out. They really improved my quality of life.

    First, I love characters that are regularly puzzled by human beings / being human:
    Spock
    Data
    Odo
    The Doctor
    Seven of Nine
    Saru

    Second, I love strong female characters:
    Katherine Pulaski
    Kira Nerys
    Kathryn Janeway!!!
    SNW Uhura
    SNW Chapel

    Third, I love queer characters:
    Guinan
    Garak
    Jadzia Dax
    Adira and Gray

    I might have forgotten an awfull lot of equally amiable characters, which doesn’t mean that I don’t love them.
