Same. I know you said you feel like the worst person in the world, but I promise you, you’re not at all. Autism is a spectrum for a reason. Some people really need noise to function, others need silence, or at least more quiet. Some in-between. I’m someone who prefers quiet and calm and will get overstimulated around anyone who is too loud for a while, including others with autism. Ppl need to talk about this more actually, because I think that’s why it makes us feel worse ❤️
