Like many people (especially among the rationality-esque circles), I have some amount of sensory processing disorder, and certain types of anti-quietandtidy-nesses are extremely disrupting to me, even though I would like to be compatible with as many people as possible.
e.g. Sniffling more than once in a few minutes will cut through whatever I had my attention on, so I have to avoid sniffling people. But I’m perfectly okay with most nose-blowing, coughing, sneezing, and other typical adult sounds.
I haven’t had enough experience being around children to get a precise guess. I think I’m perfectly compatible with some children instances, but have to avoid most of them, and I’m guessing competently raised children are less likely to be disruptive and so I might be compatible with most of them?
I do not know how to solve this problem, especially because people with SPD often have very different specific issues.
My first response to this.
Maybe that is useful feedback! It’s certainly not about the topic though.
