My wife and I are both autistic. She has difficulty moderating the volume of her voice, and I’m volume sensitive. So far she’s been unable to recognize when I’m having trouble, and I’ve been unable to stop being so sensitive. :/
I’ve tried wearing earplugs but I have trouble remembering to keep them in.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to reduce volume from someone when you’re sensitive and they’re loud without realizing it?
I like this approach too. I have friends that are couples and have their own little signs to communicate secretly around others. If discussed in a loving way, it might even be a cute way to get closer to each other. It’s like you’re taking care of each other.
