I had a realization about my #SensoryIssues last night…

None of my #AuditoryTriggers exist in nature. They are all 100% caused by human technology.

🤔

Yet another reason for my biophilia?

@JeremyMallin @actuallyautistic Right as my neighbor starts his car with a rusty exhaust pipe producing a very loud rumbling, and just sits there with his car running for 5 minutes before driving off. YOU DON'T NEED TO WARM UP THE ENGINE FFS 😫 JUST DRIVE.

Nature is mixed for me. Birds can be pretty loud on a bad day so I tend to wear my earplugs even there. But generally, nature has a very different noise level for sure. Wish I had better access to less populated areas here.

@neversosimple
I can literally feel the rattle of your neighbor’s exhaust pipe, in that hyper empathic way many of us autists do.

Rattling metals are the worst.

@f1337 Rattling is an apt description. My ears rattle, my brain rattles, my *soul* rattles.

Thank you for your sympathy 😄
