    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.
