My NT friend: doesn’t this silence bother u

Me, autistic: are u telling me u can’t hear this incredibly loud fridge

The lights have sound

Electronics have sound

Appliances have sound

If electricity runs through it, it has sound.

Rarely is there actual silence (and that does bother me due to lack of sensory input).

This is why the barn uses me when they think the horses are reacting to a noise they can’t hear. I’ll likely find it (it’s usually the heating or the electrical box in the indoor).

I also know when the electric fences are on.

For years I was convinced that I was either hallucinating or had hearing damage, because electronics always made this high-pitched whine that was closer to being felt than heard, and nobody else knew what I was talking about.

Then I met other autistic people.

Wait so I’m not the only one who hears electric currents in things?

It bugs me when the street lights come on at night as i can hear them .my eldest boy used to hate my mums eletric fire as it made a low buzzing sound if you didnt turn the fan part on .he loves white noise though and his little bro is calmed by the sound of a fan too .my mum used to get me to sleep by putting the hoover on and i would calm down but the sound of strip lights and street lights drive me crazy.

Wow, this is super neat.

Im not the only one hhhhhhh
