    I assume it’s for people with eyesight issues / blind. At least that’s what I read about it when it was introduced. However even then I have severe doubts in that helping (I also had a legal blind colleague and know how he got around).

    So I don’t really think it helps any amount of people weighing against (statistically) possible 1% of Autists that might have more trouble with it.

    And yes you’re right it seems some kind of default reaction by people to raise the voice, also for instance when I don’t (and can’t, and I told them beforehand!) understand in busy environments.

    Thanks for your answer and perspective! I always think of ‘you’ when a regular stop in my home city casually states that all elevators at that stop are broken (for at least weeks) so you’ll just have to take the next stop (… And then??).

    Indeed, however it might be dialed up to like 300% of neurotypicals and literally damaging your body.

    So yes, some things are relatable or the typical ‘ah yes I have that sometimes’ but in absolute unrelatable overdrive.

    And trilializing traits under which people are suffering can sometimes be really discouraging or worsening depression.

    I feel this very much since I have sensory issues regarding filtering and most people can not relate or understand that it also doesn’t help to shout and I hear pretty well. Still can’t understand them though.

    So avoidance of these surroundings is my only option.
