[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there is one thing DCUM has taught me, it's that there are people out there who are triggered by nearly everything. Relax, people. [/quote]

I'm the PP who mentioned misophonia, and I actually have misophonia. I absolutely cannot stand the sound of a certain type of fabric or when people drag their feet while they run on a treadmill. So I carry around noice-cancelling headphones and leave an area when need be. It's not really something I can relax away.

Of course, I am well aware that it would be bizarre for me to rant about the sounds these people make and tell people to stop making them, lol.[/quote]

Same here.  There are sounds that fill me with rage, actually.  But I don't project class judgments on people who make those sounds.  There are places where flip-flops are not appropriate, but in terms of hygiene, they aren't that different from many other types of sandals.  Some people's feet are gross, but others keep their feet clean and their nails trimmed.  [/quote]

Sincere question…are you guys on the spectrum?[/quote]

Ha I don’t know! I’m the first PP and I have never been tested. I started looking into ASD because I think one of my kids is autistic and then a bunch of things started sounding eerily familiar. I did a bunch of self assessments and some said I am autistic, some said I’m neither autistic or not autistic (apparently there is a space between “on the spectrum” and not on the spectrum). But I don’t think it really matters much for me. I’m sure nobody who knows me thinks I might be autistic. [/quote]
