We watch Community on an endless loop as our comfort show.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

    Being in Japan with French-speaking is murder for my brain. It heavily focuses on language, so it hears English, Japanese, French, and the other Asian visitors. Makes it super hard to concentrate.

        It also affects me for noises in general. Water splashes, fridges running, heaters clinking, A/C whirring. Anything and everything.

        My sympathies, fellow unable to tune anything out!

        Had the best sleep of my life in a Japanese hotel. Dead silent. Super vivid dreams, too.
