i do that too bc it’s a vocal stim lmfao so it drives my roommates crazy that’s kinda for them to figure out because im not masking in my own home anymore and its not like im being excessively loud 😓 maybe its the same for your roommate. use headphones!

So I’m forced to be inconvenienced bc my roommate cant be quiet… if i was constantly clicking my pen, chewing gum loudly, tapping on my desk, etc. that would be really annoying right? She does ts when I’m trying to sleep too. I am not wearing headphones to sleep. If you need to wind down and unmask and shit and you KNOW it drives your roommate crazy, then be considerate and get a medical single or room with someone that is okay with it.

u can always change ur room too if u can’t stand it. not everyone can control it either. i cant mask anymore so i stim even in public without even meaning to. it depends on how her healthcare situation is too bc its not exactly like we are rlly cared for properly in the system for where accommodations are accessible. did she know this before u lived together or do you mean she knows it NOW

u don’t need to wear headphones to sleep btw. earplugs for sleep are comfy and u can use em too just like ppl like me constantly have to wear noise canceling designs :D
