I don't know if you feel comfortable with that, but I am pretty open when it comes to my diagnosis.
If I'm asked something like this, I'm usually straight forward about my coping mechanisms.
I have autistic traits and I wear earplugs because I'm very sensitive to noise or wear sunglasses because I can't handle the light right now, etc.
Most of the time it's a "oh okay, makes sense" kind of answer, sometimes I get asked more question about it.
The reason I wear shades is so I can close my eyes and not get distracted by every little movement.
