Sensory overload strikes ADHD and Autistic brains equally.

When the brain fails to filter input, a loud room or a scratchy tag stops being a minor annoyance. It morphs into physical pain. The experience drains your energy.

Any young people on here who can explain why so many of you are so loud?

We live in a world where neurodivergence — autism, sensory processing disorder, etc — is more recognised than ever. Many people with such conditions are adversely affected by bright light, loud noises, etc.

And that's not counting anybody who might simply have a headache.

So why the super bright LEDs and super loud people? Especially when there's no need for it?
