 It's clapping Damn you're telling me if a woke person tried to rob me all I'd have to do is just There are real people that are really scared of clapping real people I guess my best advice to you is to try your best to not listen to those fears. Really. It's such a complicated issue This is just my little degenerate as response to it or yeah Yes Yes, it is the fear of clapping. I don't I don't is that got like a term for it I don't think it's it's necessarily about fear. I think it's more about just sensory overload to be honest It's like it's kind of framed as this like Personal thing like a personality trait like you just quite you just too scared of the claps, you know They they they say too much. It's not the fact that your brain like Upscales the intensity of all the sensory stimuli that you experience said clapping is sometimes quite difficult for like people who don't have sensory differences and It's upscaled even further Nothing to do of course. It's just a personal feeling my degenerate solution I don't know but believing in something is a really powerful thing if you believe that you're scared of claps You're gonna be scared of claps if you really truly believe that you are you got to just realize that claps aren't scary That's a crazy sentence by the way But it's not gonna be a flip of a switch, right? You'll probably still get scared of them But eventually your brain will come to the realization Oh, I was just kind of freaking out over some small shit. It's like again Habituate yourself to it Stalking to people who don't generally habituate sensory stimuli. This is going to be a little bit interesting Work people don't know anything It's gonna be a small clip of this. There's something that caught my eye. I was like, hey That's an autism accommodation that you're talking about bro Pan show man. Let's have a look at what Pan show has to say about sensory accommodations in the public speaking events and Whether there's anything that we can inform him on Anything that perhaps he's glossing over. It's probably I don't know how long this clip is gonna be because it's part of like a really long video That we're not gonna watch all of because it's not all related to autism But there was just like a little bit a Little bit that I picked up. I think it would be important to talk about so let's go for it Oh, I found a video today, and I think it perfectly represents or accurately depicts how pussy some of these new age woke people are Now we're looking at a democratic socialist convention. Yeah, I'll give my brief opinion on socialism I think that the evidence really speaks for itself We've had plenty of societies in the world that have tried it out. They're not work out too well I just don't think it's realistic to put that in place for the US But this is not the point I was talking about because it's it's coming up We don't I'm not getting into a political discussion here, but I didn't come here to talk about that Let's all just pop a squat relax. I'm ready to be enlightened. I thank Natalie for flattering me The truth is I'm not the leader of security here Y'all are everybody is responsible for the collective Security safety and everyone's needs being met here keeping each other safe Keeping each other secure and making sure that everybody is able to fully participate in this convention we have a lot of disabled comrades and a lot of those are invisible Disabilities, so it's up to us to modify that space to make sure that Everybody is able to move in the ways that they need to move First of all in this room. I see that no one's clapping for me It could be because I'm not engaging But it also is because everyone's doing this and that's really important because those loud bursts of noise Even though this is a noisy space when we can do something like reducing that that's really important So please don't clap shoot up these so instead of having it so I imagine that this this person has been putting in some some sensory adjustments for Individuals particularly neurodivergent individuals in the audience autistic ADHD who have Sensory differences. You may not like the old clapping. I mean, it's not something that I personally struggle with but I know some people who find it Very distressing usually when it comes to sensory accommodations and adjustments I think it's it's it's good to try and be as inclusive as possible You know, usually if I go to places like that, I will have these these little puppies in to help with the sensory overload Let's see what pantry has to say about this having everybody clap. He wants people to Yes Why he wants everybody to do this is because you know loud noises scare people Even though loud noises scare people I don't know if that's that's the the reason to why I don't I mean I can imagine that some people with like You know, some forms of PTSD might find that quite difficult But I think the reason for why people do that is to reduce the amount of extreme volumes of clapping that people Experience during like audience claps They can of course cause large amounts of sensory overload for a for any autistic people in the audience Then though It's it's just claps you get a fucking world war two vet in that room and he'd shut everybody up He'd be like y'all don't know what the fuck I went through y'all a bunch of pussies come on man We got to be that considerate of people who are scared of clapping And y'all I know there's gonna be a bunch of pussies in my comment section that are like My best advice for y'all is to there's going to be a lot of pussies in the comments section screaming sensory overload Well, man, it's it is something that people experience and like It's it's hard to translate exactly what that experience is like for people Some people can can deal with it some people can't if you're wanting to make an event accessible I think like Removing clapping if you can is like a pretty easy win I think in the grand scheme of things. It's not like you're significantly changing the event In a massive way, I don't know if it's something that I feel should be should be implemented everywhere Because as I said, we we are you know people with sensory sort of differences is a minority people Doesn't mean that we have to change everything, but when you are promoting an event is sort of inclusive I think that's a pretty Pretty good thing to to include at those events to buy a 12 gauge shotgun And take it out to the woods and just start shooting it start fucking Desensitizing yourself from that shit because bro, the world is not gonna revolve around you Imagine you're working at a movie theater and then by the end of the movie everybody starts clapping you have to walk in I'm sorry, but so please don't clap shoot up these So so the prescription here is to go into the woods and fire a shotgun Interesting solution to that. I think it's more likely to cause permanent hearing loss rather than like reduced sensory I suppose that might reduce sensory input At the cost of your hearing if that's that's a reasonable suggestion But actually like this is quite a common thing that people say to autistic people actually who struggle with sensory difficulties Just get used to it. Stop wearing your headphones. You're gonna sensitize yourself to it to a certain extent You can like increase it like you can increasingly sensitize yourself to it, but there is a there's a concept To do with that it's called habituation and habituation is You know as as he said getting used to things most people Who aren't neurodivergent who don't have sensory differences do habituate pretty well So a good a good example of this would be Like a snail if you boob a snail on the eyeball or on its little Itendrel things where I call it. I don't know what they're called You boob on that it'll sort of retract Go back into its shell a little bit If you do it again, it will retract go back into its shell a little bit. You keep doing it at some point It's gonna stop It's gonna stop doing that and that's that's what you call habituation Same thing aeroplanes going over like the fields Um first time that happens probably a lot of animals are gonna look up and say oh, what's that and get really scared Happens enough times. They're gonna habituate to it to a certain degree. Uh, they have actually shown in in in some like scientific studies that autistic people Don't habituate like most people would so Trying to desensitize yourself to things like this actually doesn't work You know get if you go go each each day and you experience clapping to the same magnitude each day You might know what to expect and perhaps it would shock you as much But you will still experience the same amount of like sensory overload. So it's not it's not a It's not a thing that you can just like erase from from personal experience Said that my old librarian wanted us to do when I was in elementary school Okay, um and and additionally with the um the noise issue like avoid hissing avoid hissing Waving banners, right? You don't know what to do show up these, right? I'm sure there's lots of ways that we can communicate to each other without needing to rely on something That's going to hurt somebody else hurt somebody Again, just just lack of ignorance just ignorance of of people's experiences You know, it's just it's just plain ignorance of it like I mean to be honest I can't blame most people for not understanding like sensory differences, but You know the organizers obviously like have What is it people coming in some some advisors who have talked about sensory accommodations? And that's just something that they want to implement. I don't think I've ever been to an event where people hiss I don't know if I would be particularly like overwhelmed by some hissing It's a pretty soft noise, but It's beside the point I suppose It's clapping Damn, so you're telling me if a woke person tried to rob me all I'd have to do is just Get the fuck away. Listen at the end of the day. There are when I watched that first that clapping genuinely did like Overwhelmed me just a little bit. It's not great. You know But I like I I just found it funny that he's phrasing it as like work work people What you mean, um autistic people I suppose maybe maybe clapping an autistic person who's trying to rob you might be a An effective way of defense possibly My lord, there are real people that are really scared of clapping real people I guess my best advice to you is to try your best to not listen to those fears Really, it's such a complicated issue. This is just my little degenerate as response to it or Yeah Yes Yes, it is the fear of clapping. I don't I don't is that got like a A term for it. I don't think it's it's necessarily about fear. I think it's more about just sensory overload to be honest It's like it's kind of framed as this like personal thing like a personality trait like You just quite you just too scared of the claps, you know, they they they scare you too much. It's not the facts that your brain Like upscales the intensity of all the sensory stimuli that you experience said clapping is Sometimes quite difficult for like people who don't have sensory differences And it's upscaled even further Nothing to do of course. It's just a Personal feeling my degenerate solution. I don't know but believing in something is a really powerful thing If you believe that you're scared of claps You're gonna be scared of claps if you really truly believe that you are you gotta just realize that claps aren't scary That's a crazy sentence by the way, but it's not gonna be a flip of a switch, right? You'll probably still get scared of them But eventually your brain will come to the realization. Oh, I was just kind of freaking out over some small shit. It's like again habituate yourself to it Stogging to people who don't generally habituate sensory stimuli as a kid when you're going up the stairs And you think there's like a demon chasing you, you know what I'm saying? It's like that same energy eventually you realize there was nothing to be scared about And the fact that this leader that's speaking right now or whoever he is Is trying to reaffirm that claps are scary. You guys shouldn't do them. It's gonna freak out those people It's just such a dumb thing to do bro. You're keeping people pussy compare these people to like army soldiers And it's like comparing a cat to a lion. I swear to god Well, there is a reason why the army doesn't necessarily sort of enlist autistic people into combat and that is one of the reasons We do just like find sensory stuff just a little bit too overwhelming impact sororability to process information Function to a certain degree sometimes and especially pay attention during like Highly sort of social complex situations. What are what are the implementations have we got here? We have quiet rooms that are available. There's a range of options of these right on seven There's one that has video but no sound if you still want to be able to observe the convention But the sound is an issue There's also in piedmont eight a completely quiet room one thing to note there Please don't go into that space with anything that's like an aggressive scent for instance, right? I'd be the type of motherfucker to walk in with some liquid ass walking in that room with some liquid ass just going Um because that's gonna Quiet rooms great adjustment for an event Very important for people who um experience meltdown shutdowns particularly those who Have sensory difficulties as funny as as that is that Like it's funny like i'm not gonna lie like it made me chuckle but also man like i'm gonna go harass a bunch of people who have sensory difficulties by clapping and spraying mist in their face of of some like undescribable sauce Beautiful that's gonna be difficult for people the the principle of collective security is we don't want to put people in stressful situations that they don't consent to right Life is stressful motherfucker Holy shit. You think life is stress-free dawg If you constantly care about not stressing people out You're just going to make their life more stressful. Listen to that how the God how how does that make any sense? I'll tell you what the best thing to do guys If someone's stressing out go over and like clap in their ears. There's like shouting their ears that that'll like I'll really pull them out of it, you know That'll really sort them out. I told you that this video is crazy Life is stressful Okay, panche would you would you be fine if like well, I mean you didn't consent to it But if I get a megaphone and I just shout in your ear With a megaphone, how does that how how would that be? I mean You're not consenting to it, but you don't you don't care about that Is that cool? Is that is that cool with you? Listen to that again because guess what the more stressful situations you're exposed to The more your tolerance raises for stress like other situations start to not become a big deal Because you're dealing with more stress. I wake up every morning I go in the ice bath and that's stressful Let me tell you being in 30 degree water right when you wake up the minute I wake up I'm in it and the rest of my days are a breeze Even though I do things that some people would deem to be stressful like working out in the gym and going crazy in there But it's nothing well that this is the whole like Oh, you need to build you calluses kind of approach to it. I don't think to some degree there is like Like some some lines of thought there. It's like the whole thing are going to the gym, you know The gym is not the most like sensory like sensor really I'm talking about The the best haven for like Not having a sensory overload. Let's say I still go the thing is I go with earbuds Some people go with shades to try and reduce that sensory input if I don't go with my my earphones It doesn't matter how many times I go without my earphones I will have the same exact experience of it being Overloading not being able to concentrate on my workout. I go each time and sometimes I do really struggle or have a meltdown or have a shut down And I don't have a fun time doesn't stop me from going However, it does inform me that I perhaps need to take a bit more precautions when it comes to Like going into into those spaces. It's just just like a normal thing to do, you know There is a point at which having this mentality of like deal with it Doesn't do anything It's a fine balance, you know If there's something that you can't change about yourself and something that you struggle with Perhaps consider making some changes instead of just like powering through it And trying to habituate when you just can't It's nothing to me anymore because I wake up with that and this and this guy's over here Lost in the sauce. I don't even know why I said that I've met some cats that are less pussy than this And we have to be accountable to each other that our actions might have negative Uh consequences for other people Can we just have a round if I was gonna say a round of applause? Can we have a round of hands? You know for this for this guy and the people who organized this like truly thinking about including People with sensory differences into an event. It's awesome. A lot of people just don't go to them Because they can be overwhelming. So it's it's really good to see stuff like this If you we're also talking about de-escalation, right? Um because people are going to have different experiences of things that some others might think is normal heatedness And I think in some of that there's an inevitability there But it's going to be really traumatic for people if we're not making an affirmative effort to de-escalate each other And de-escalate ourselves, right? You are having a conflict with somebody. Feel free to step away, right? We're going to make sure that you can get out of that space. Let somebody else step away if they need to step away, right? Don't talk to I mean, I know probably no one is going to reply with but this, you know Generally good information. I don't think it needs to be highlighted so much I mean like, you know, obviously having a confrontation for someone is not the best situation I do find, you know, there are some You know aspects that I do find like particularly like hyperbolas like Traumatizing I once I don't know if you can consider that to be traumatizing I don't know Um, I think there could be better words used But like that's just going into like Like highly detailed specifics of it. Talk to cops. Don't talk to MAGA assholes All we're almost there just But thank you. Hey guys, don't cheer. Don't cheer. Stop. Oh I do I do find it I do find it quite humorous Like the audience is like whooping after they give a speech on inclusivity You know, obviously they need they need to do a little bit more preparation um People's good reactions are just coming out and to be honest. I can't explain. I can't like Blame people for like that's just how they've been at events Um, I think people should try their best, you know And to not do that It's it's good to have those those being implemented But I'm also aware that it is not particularly like the commonplace. I guess for a lot of people So, you know, it's it's the whole thing about You know people in general can can be ignorant of the autistic experience and It's it's okay to be like the society is not built and we're not taught these things But once you are aware of it Try your best to like be a bit more inclusive to people I'd show up to this meeting with like a train horn To the people who are saying stuff like oh, no, you should be considerate of people who are Oh, yeah, I wonder how he'd like a train horn and is there Every time that someone's like finished speaking Scared of clapping. Sorry. It's so funny to say. Um, do you think he'd have it? I'm not gonna throw my rhythm off just to appease something somebody that has such a ridiculous fear. I'm sorry. I'm just not I don't want to feel like I'm constantly walking on egg shows Just because somebody's scared of some mildly loud noise clapping isn't really that loud They can go fix that problem before they speak to me. We are we are safe and we are Again taking it to a personal level You're you're fearful of it. It's it's not about that dude Come on wrong because there's power in collective Uh in collective work and that's exactly what we're doing here And we're gonna rely on you to to make that happen So i'm very happy to be working with you on this project and I hope everyone has a great convention I'm gonna hand it to natalie to make one quick announcement Okay, we have our two mics up front. We also have two additional mics that are And do you hear that no clapping? Well done guys like they had a little hiccup. They started whooping and stuff and then they were like oh Oh, yeah, I remember and they're not doing it now and nothing's changed Nothing has changed Is it is it important to say like Okay, you're gonna traumatize people. I don't think you're gonna traumatize people Um, are you going to cause significant like sensory overload and discomfort to some people? Yeah I don't know if you could call that trauma. I think some people might feel it's traumatizing Especially like I think some of you some of you said in the chat like PTSD like 100% Makes that are being run. So if for example, you make a point of information or a point of privilege Um, please, you know keep your hands up Um or stand if you if you can and they will run a mic to you not a single thing in this meeting Was said that had some value behind it. I I can I can think of some some pretty good like Uses of that kind of system. I understand from from his perspective. It's like, oh, you're gonna let just people Um, who don't have the the privilege to step in and sort of speak But if someone's talking about autism And like you have a research like a medical person come in and they're just spouting a whole bunch of nonsense about autism um Like having someone in the audience who is autistic who is able to like speak for themselves and You know talk about it or even multiple people um You know, perhaps you can somewhat like Temper some of the misinformation that a person gives like not necessarily that like that like that's gonna happen but I think it definitely could do I mean, I've seen I've been to conventions and stuff talking about autism and it's just Yeah, it's like come on like get some Some of the autistic experience in here up in here, you know, I mean you would speak to today would call what you're saying Racist yeah, I am racist. Okay. So I think I think that's that's the um the section of the video that I wanted to talk about I just found it quite interesting like some of the like The ways that people attribute differences to personality and whether you where you've got like the hutzpah to be able to push through things, you know Dedicate yourself hard work Desensitize yourself be it be a a strong person It's it's often not about that You know and people like this they don't they haven't experienced life, you know in the same way They don't truly sort of have an insight have an understanding of this kind of thing and it's it is really like Yeah, I think the main thing is that kind of Turning this into like a personal emotional thing, which isn't and mean kudos to the event for for Being more inclusive to people with invisible disabilities like they were saying, you know covers quite a lot of people Um neurodivergent individuals. I would imagine people with sensory differences Um, so it's great. I know I wish there were more events like this because I think a lot of autistic people do want to go to events um, it's just The clapping the noise Speakers the music the atmosphere sometimes just put too much and it's nice to have a quiet room to go to if you're struggling You don't want to have a meltdown in public Um, you don't want to have unnecessary like sensory overload I don't see any problem with that But pancho does What do you think? Let me know in the in in the comments. This guy's entire energy is vile Yeah, well, it's make is kind of I think the whole Wave I don't know I've seen a thing a few guys like this the kind of mix mix in sort of edgy humor with like political stances And I think it's it's okay to sort of debate things but Like At least make sense at least have an idea of what you're talking about before you say like oh There's poor sensitive people who can't who are who are scared of claps Not bloody scared of claps. What are you talking about? He was scared of like two hands coming together You probably would be scared of claps if every time that happened you experienced a lot of sensory overload and bad potential meltdowns Yeah, I mean I guess so but It's it's it's more of a result Rather than like a personal feeling like a fear I would say this dude does not understand how the body responds to stress. He likely doesn't understand Well, yeah, he's I imagine that this this person thinks that everybody exists like in the same brain Like everybody experiences stuff like ears and if he can take a nice bath and reduce all of his sensory stress Then that's gonna that's going to be the solution to everybody Go off into the woods and fire a shotgun near your ear. That'll that'll really sort you out, you know
