    I have sound sensitivity as well, but actually love asmr when it’s done correctly. But you’re right, the majority of it is garbage.

    Thanks! I was curious because I have other traits that have been labelled as neurodivergent by my therapists but I’m not diagnosed or anything so I never know if something is “normal” or not.

      Yeah!

      Real, actual ASMR is very neat, when done properly…

      … but, these days, its mostly idiots that have warped it from an actual, specific, biophysical effect, into a massively bastardized basicslly just flavor of slop content.

      And also… yeah, at least in the US, its very difficult to find a therapist that knows much about autism, its even more difficult to get a diagnosis if you sre an adult.

      Take that, take the results of it to your therapist.

      Chances are, that’ll be the first time they’ve even heard of this, despite it being pretty well established in the field… because most US therapists don’t know that much about autism. You have to find, and be able to afford, someone with specific training.
