  • I also despise theme parks, sorry that’s the chosen activity your family chose. I always offered to sit with everyone’s stuff so I wouldn’t have to go on rides and give me an excuse to sit on a bench or something nearby. I also bring a small stim toy everywhere now to help with stress, and ear plugs or wireless headphones have been a godsend in public spaces since they’re low profile and can easily be kept in a pocket. Stay hydrated out there comrade, hopefully it won’t be too crazy.






  • Yes, someone in the same office. Problem is, I haven’t claimed that I technically have a disability or need any accommodations in any way, which technically is in violation of my application and hiring paperwork, where I lied and said I didn’t because I was desperate. I can’t express how many times I’ve been told that I overreact to things by NTs, and it’s part of why I’ve been so heavily masked all my life. I need money desperately right now and was grateful I got the position. I appreciate the suggestion but I’m not sure I’m competent or confident enough to talk to HR or a lawyer about someone whistling, which is generally not considered as an issue with most people, when I am masked and trying to hide the fact that I’m not normal. Sorry if that sounds defeatist.


  • If you have ideas I’m all for hearing them, and even better if it gives other comrades some viable options if they’re in a similar situation with less restrictions. I’m feeling pretty exhausted and might have to pass out soon, so I might not respond til tomorrow. The phones we use have headsets that are provided by the company and can’t be swapped out, which I guess is why they don’t allow headphones–maybe the assumption is that they’ll get in the way of the headset or delay answering calls. I just assumed some old person complained about someone listening to music on the clock and they made it a rule. I like that idea though, had no idea there were headphones with transparency mode out there.


  • Hey no worries, honestly it’s helping just to put things on a possible to-do list so I do appreciate it. It’s a mid-size company with one of the crappiest HR lady’s I’ve ever encountered. The headphones thing is a rule because we have to be available to answer phones and messages within a specific time frame. It’s got a lot of weird rules that are in writing but only enforced for certain people.
