@💜 🩷 Iconoclast Beryl 🩷 💜 I understand it's hard to get your needs met when you are unable to communicate them, and I understand it can be difficult to formulate a communication while your brain is in an overloaded state and needs time to process. By the same token you can't expect someone else to psychically anticipate your needs. Maybe you could prepare a hand-written note, obviously you can write as attested by the post above, and by writing it advance you don't have to be functional to write it at the time beyond just handing it to them. Then again you could invest in a 50 cent pair of ear plugs and just stay where you are.
@💜 🩷 Iconoclast Beryl 🩷 💜 While I agree with you the issues I can see are a multi-tude, in a college the student body can be huge, depending upon the class or lecture situation the room can be very crowded, and the professor or instructor can not reasonably be equipped to know the special needs of every student, and a student in a state of mental overload can have not only difficulty communicating them but even navigating a large moving crowd to escape that situation. I agree as much autonomy as possible is best, but also immediacy, the ability to narrow the input immediately when it's overloading the brains ability to filter it. I realize sensory overload is not just audible but that's one channel you can have immediate effective and autonomous control over leaving more mental bandwidth to address the remainder.
And I'm saying there are no shortage of professors who would be immensely pissed off to be interrupted in the middle of a lecture and then having someone shove a note at them.
On top of that this still requires the student to go through a bunch of very awkward interactions that would be difficult enough in a less stressful state.
@💜 🩷 Iconoclast Beryl 🩷 💜 Yes I realize that, then you're left with whatever autonomy you can get and even navigating a crowd given the autonomy can be a challenge, so narrowing the input immediately can be the first recourse, hence earplugs.
@💜 🩷 Iconoclast Beryl 🩷 💜 I apologize. Not being autistic myself I can only imagine based upon other circumstances that did result in sensory and mental overload. I am trying to help, I apologize if I am not succeeding.

in reply to Nanook • • •wanted to do something like this, They were condescending and dismissive.
It's not really a problem for me anymore anyway since I'm not in school but when I was I wasn't given the option.
Really the best option would just give me discretion to leave on my own terms

This fixes nothing.

Yes I know their interest in fulfilling that is dubious at best, but some are genuinely trying.
