I am autistic and get very stressed in noisy environments. I just kinda shut down after a while and can't really talk anymore.
My dad keeps saying that I should expose myself to more noisy environments as "therapy". I try to tell him that's like telling someone who can't walk because they're paralyzed from the waist down to just keep trying.
He still thinks it'll be fine if I just "learn to ignore the noise".

I'm sorry, comrade. It sucks when people just will not listen to you when you tell them what's happening.
Earplugs. Loop or Earasers. Fucking godsend.
