As an autist I don’t experiment sounds like non autists because they can filter and I can’t.

The video is a perfect example of how I AM experiencing sounds, and I’m sure it’s the same for many others of us. (However, some sounds mentioned in it, the sounds of the street, are missing).

The video is also a perfect example on how music in background (only at the beginning) makes difficult for me to focus on what someone is saying.

Be careful fellow autistic if you watch it with sound on.
(The video has closed captions).

Je peux, disons, me concentrer sur une conversation, mais mon cerveau travaille quand-même en mode forcé, je dirais. Parce que je n'ai pas de vision, mes yeux ne fonctionnent pas, c'est le son qui me donne la plupart de l'information, donc non, je ne peux pas « couper » tout ce qui est extra.
