I got some good quality noise cancelling headphones 12 months ago and thought they were great. Since doing more reading about ASD and ADHD, I’ve come to understand I have some sensory issues.
I bought some Loop earplugs a few weeks ago after reading about them in other ASD threads and I love wearing them when driving, shopping or in doctor’s waiting rooms. I feel much less anxious and tense.
After doing some more reading and reflection, I think that a weighted blanket might be helpful and so I ordered one.
I’ve been using softer, less jarring alarms and ringtones for years and started using the Smiling Mind phone app recently which has been helpful.
I was wondering if there are any assistive tools/devices/tips that any other ASD people have found that have had a major impact on their lives that they might like that share?
I just bought a compression vest from amazon, its been great.
This is interesting. Thinking on it I do like the feel of a new singlet, before it’s worn in and is still tight. Makes me feel more balanced and in control.
Just ordered a compression singlet and I’ll give it a go. Thanks for the recommendation 🙂
