Like driving on the highway:
Everyone going slower is an idiot, everyone going faster is an asshole.
100dB high-pitched guitars, relentless double bass and shrieking vocals at a black metal show: total bliss.
My kids when they yell out of excitement: unbearable.
Ah same as farts
your noises have been processed by your brain before you even made them, so they're not bad
I would be so interested to compare .log files for an autistic person and a 'normal' person.
Ugh, lucky bastards probably don't even have a console.log, let alone a file.
I'm pretty sure they're equipped with a wonderfully sophisticated logging facility that's piped straight to /dev/null
Audhd here, It would be nice if it were a quiet log file. I log straight to the console AND it's probably with DEBUG enabled.
One way I've seen this explained is that the bad sensory stuff is things that you can't control. Whereas the humming or chatting or music or whatever is something that you're in complete control of. It's noise that you want and expect, not noise that's disrupting you.
I have misophonia and sounds that I make myself are definitely included. I try to minimise the noise I make at basically all times.
Solutions exist.
Yeah but you get lonely after a while.
Everyone does from time to time. The trick is to find a similar deviant to cuddle with. ^^
My own noises definitely bug me sometimes, and I generally try and keep quiet. Can't really recommend, though. It definitely contributes to making one's self an uninteresting wallflower.
