Are there any meds autistic people take to reduce the sensitivity of all of their senses ? 🤔

Sometimes I really wish I had an official diagnosis of #autism. I know that self diagnosis is valid, and I know that I am #ActuallyAutistic but Impostor Syndrome is real.
I've spent all morning watching YouTube videos with titles like "10 signs you might be autistic!" even though I know all of this very well.
It is just nice sometimes to hear someone describe me while trying to describe an autistic person. *sigh*

> It's said that people with #Autism tend to like music for the drum beats especially
I'm ADHD as well as autistic, so that might mean I don't have the same relationship to music as other autistic people. But what originally got me into listening to music was the words, not the beats. I pretty much ignored both beats and melody at first, and couldn't stand listening to instrumental music. I think it was when I started smoking cannabis that I learned to hear and appreciate those.
@maikel @actuallyadhd autism's strength lies in refinement.
as an #AuDHD I like my novelty in art and learning and social media, and my routine/refinement in everything else.
I definitely work, think and express myself an order of magnitude better using asynchronous communication. I'm aware. That's why every Friday I wrote a report for Survation, we then on Monday discussed it, the CEO and I.
Normally he used it too with shareholders in mind.
I should bet back to this.
The ways I work the most comfortable had a lot more to do with autism than with ADHD. I do not require novelty, I require routine. In fact I hate novelty at work and prefer structure and continuous building up and progressing over a solid foundation.
When people keep moving that foundation or the thing I should be focusing on, work becomes a nightmare and start to burn out.

Indeed, there was no autism back in the 1970s...

Registration for #OnlineAutscape2026 is nearly ready to open!
The Autscape Programme Team received an abundance of high quality proposals. We have included as many as possible in the programme, and we hope that those who did not fit in this time will not be discouraged but consider proposing again for future events.
As we wait for final confirmations to publish the whole programme and launch registration, we would like to introduce our guest from Australia, Dr Sharon Zivkovic.
Sharon is an autistic social entrepreneur and systems thinker. Her social enterprise Community Capacity Builders established a Centre for Autistic Social Entrepreneurship in 2023. This Centre piloted a Program for Autistic Innovators, Systemisers and Social Entrepreneurs in 2025, providing autistic individuals with the knowledge and skills to use their innate autistic ways of thinking for the creation of social innovations, to systemise social innovations, and establish social enterprises.
Sharon will tell us about this three-part programme on Saturday, 7th Feb, starting 11 am GMT.

This is one of those ideas that's obvious once you hear it said out loud, but—I needed to hear it?
I've been putting extra effort into allowing myself to drop low-priority balls this week.... (& fighting overwhelm even so....)

New video: How binaural beats work, and why I use 11Hz Alpha waves in my music.
AarDHD is a project creating functional music for focus and calm. The tracks use binaural beats for brainwave entrainment. The first release, "Flow State" is designed for people with ADHD and autism, or who needs help concentrating or calming down.
