Anons tell me how not to be completely obnoxious about being a special snowflake.

>be me, pretty sure I'm autistic or some shit
>really fucking sensitive to noise and touch, environments often just feel really hostile and overwhelming; can barely deal with my own clothes or with the feeling of somebody's fingernail tapping the table I have my elbows on
>experience sound as feeling and emotion (cold, touch, anger, sadness, pressure, the feeling of laughter, tingles, pain, motion, magnetism, this weird spatial feeling, etc.), get really fucking overwhelmed by it sometimes, can't fucking stand some things just because they're really raw or confusing or painful
>see colors and patterns like a firework show when I hear music (G is green, A is red, B is yellow, C is goldenrod, D is forest-ish sea green, E is this weird one I can't describe that's like orange-purple-slate, F is sky blue), see text when I hear speech like closed-captions; can't really deal with lots of people talking at once or with parties without being really fucking confused, can get really confused if what I see doesn't match with whatever people are trying to say
>various other things that are just so normal to me I've only lately become aware that they're not (whole mind pretty much organized spatially so that I can "feel around" for stuff, weird things with letters and language and math, etc.)
>have a lot of trouble just being in a social environment or concentrating when I'm overwhelmed
>class or just walking around outside can be a fucking ordeal, have to just retreat pretty often
