Being autistic, adhd and random stuff

Here's a weird thing, or should I say 'hears a weird thing'?

Here's a link, hopefully

I had a post on my Insta aimed at ADHDers with a tone pitched at 963Hz, a bit like the pitch from an old tv when there's no signal.
It's claimed the sound clears your head, shuts down the random thoughts and mental clutter. Google suggested there was limited scientific evidence and I saw a few spirit groups claimed it as, I dunno, maybe the Gaia God-song of your chakras or some bollocks.
I tried it and it stopped my tinnitus, or rather swapped it for a different noise. It was oddly comforting though.

Nothing for me. Just a, boringly annoying minute. I happen to have tinnitus from public transport (came hommista just 15min ago) and it did definitely not change that.

Hmmmm... don't know about that. It did sound a lot like the old test card noise. It did very little for me and annoyed the dog.

This time of year can be pretty exhausting for auties. I’d planned to visit my cousin this afternoon but I’ve just had a long phone call with another family member and it’s going to take me a couple of days to recharge that family chat battery. I mean I could make myself go but socialising is supposed to be a nice activity not a trial.

A dead social batteries is an all too common experience for us. You are dead-on about the recharge period. I loathe having back-to-back days when I have to be polite, make small talk, yada-yada... I've got that coming next weekend.

For me, the joy of this week is that the worst of the battery flattening activities are over, and I got through last week OK. Both Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and yesterday had the capacity to absolutely flatten me, but they did not. Mind you, I am in the yellow zone, and hope I will be left to sit in the corner, on my charger until I feel like peopling again.

My best Christmas present was that BAF and I seem to be back on terms.
