I was able to make an autistic teachable moment today.

I was able to make an autistic teachable moment today. On my favorite YouTube vegan cooking channel, someone made a comment. They explained that they have to mute the sound for all of that channel’s videos because the cooking prep sounds are overwhelming. They even apologized for this. I adore the channel creator, but her response was to thank for their honesty.
We shouldn’t have to apologize for our needs, and so this wasn’t honesty. I was able to raise sensory sensitivity in the autistic experience and what it might involve.
I hope this might’ve been a small step in educating on our lived experience.
