Background noise
-
What if the background noise is in fact a series of overlapping, never-ending streams of thoughts in your own head?
I put on podcasts so my own thoughts shut up for a minute

First of all, rude.
Second of all, how dare you.I had a coworker who considered anything below 160BPM not as music. My flair of music is more like Jean-Michel Jarre's Waiting for Custeau. And the apprentice thought that there was a reason for rap to exist.

"Just stop having ADHD dumbass"
Thanks I'm cured.
Didn't ask you to stop having it. Just to overcome it.

I find it disturbing that people can't seem to be in a room without a TV on, even if they're scrolling on facebook. People probably think I avoid them when I'm really just avoiding TV.
Its infuriating to be visiting some family member, having a conversation with simeone, and have to talk over the noise of a TV that they have almost always on.
I usually take the remote and at least lower the volume. But eventually someone comes into the room and goes "why is the tv so low?" and raises it again... Why?? We're having a conversation, youre not even watching this shit... So frustrating -
First of all, rude.
Second of all, how dare you.I have had a fan running nearly constantly since middle school I am now 25. I fear the amount of cat hair glued to the blades, it's one of those tower ones with the conical blades. I will not open it to clean the blades for fear that it'll die.

I don't know why, but someone speaking in the background in a language I don't speak drives me insane. It doesn't have to be loud, I don't have to be trying to concentrate on anything especially hard, but if it doesn't stop after a couple of minutes, I basically just have to go somewhere else.
No idea why. I don't think it is any subtle racism, because it's every language. It's like my brain won't let go of trying to understand, and keeps wanting to notify me that it's having trouble and needs my help with it.
I get the weirdly opposite wherein my brain starts to try to translate it through whatever lexicon I may have, Korean for example don't know a bit but any Romance language or Germanic language getting rammed through the lexiconic equivalent of Frankensteins monster as presented by HR Giger. I try to avoid Spanish, I can understand spoken Frisian.

It’s one of the reasons I’m listening to music so often, and even that doesn’t help sometimes. It affects my sleep too

If everyone is neurodivergent then everyone is neurotypical.
We did it reddit!

I'm the opposite
Depends on the music for me. Anything slow or super lyrical tends to break my focus, while more upbeat stuff I've heard dozens of times can help me hit a flow state (or at the very least drown out the goings on around me enough to focus on something). I've had good luck with video game soundtracks, like Bastion or FTL because they tend to be lively without demanding attention.

Hmmm.....No. Not very wise.
-
This, tbh.
I think neurodiversity vs neurotypical is the wrong way of looking at things anyways. I think neurodiversity is a term that describes how diverse the different neurotypes are. Just as with other types of diversity, you can't say there's only one type that's normal and the rest abnormal.
So we're all just on the spectrum?

What do you mean by that last sentence?

Mynoise.net is great.

"The spectrum" usually means ASD, but neurodiversity is much much larger and encompasses other neurotypes as well.

Crickets are okay, but only when I feel like they’re okay.
Everyone around me finds crickets to be super soothing but all I hear is a very loud, high pitched ringing noise.

I know, twas joke

"just get better, dumbass."
Thanks, I'm cured.

Seems people are being replaced by cats and TV. I cant help but wonder if people were better off without them if it made people more likely to improve their social skills.
