Toot

"There are times when stimming is self injurous and harmful, such as headbanging, but it is still not wrong or challenging behaviour, but is an indication of the autistic person’s unmet needs, anxiety and need for regulation and often co regulation."

My involuntary headbanging happens after overwhelm, frustration to a point of mental shutdown, my body headbashes, reflexive to stuff that other people shove into my life and environment.

My body instinctively goes into being the injured bird.

I never want to be overhelmed.

I cant stop the incoming noises to the best of my abilities I cant shut it out.

I am in dire need of a soundproof booth I seen online. My 'Special Needs Trust' (SNTF) can pay, but wont authorize payment w/o doctor's note.

As if my autism Dx doesnt do it for them.

They put a barrier in front of me, requiring traumas and two months delay in the way of me having undisturbed sleep inside the booth.

I dunno how to get them to not require a doctor note.
