I went to a grocery store in the morning that I normally go to at night and they had dimmed lights, soft music, as well as no sounds coming from the cash registers (lemmy.world)

It seemed really surreal to me so I asked about it, apparently they have hours for people on the spectrum to make it more comfortable for them. As far as I know, I'm not on the spectrum but this environment was soooooo calming. It was like being at a spa. Is this not something everyone enjoys or should I consider getting checked out for autism??

should I consider getting checked out for autism??

do it because it's much more common than people realize.

also, it's called a spectrum for a reason; there are varying degrees of "strengths" and "types" of neurodivergence. (there's actual words for them but my memory is useless before coffee).
