Class Convos: Sensory Overload

[@V1D3O_ST4R]

Honestly I wish people would also help the kid that was "distracting" the kid. I used to accidently distract people and not know it, yet when i was sorry I was still "the bad guy". Please if someone is "distracting" someone explain that it's okay to not be aware that the person is struggling. She even said sorry and nobody reassured her.

[@nerdenacho5499]

I agree, the support should at least be mutual and it would really make a big difference to have awareness for both childrens’ needs but I think what the teacher did in this situation was a good first step, I appreciate how she didn’t scold the kid that was clicking and explained the situation. I’m sorry that you had to go through those things, everyone makes mistakes and i really appreciate that you were sorry when you accidentally did those things, I’m sorry that you apologies weren’t acknowledged. I hope you are doing better now and are being treated better.❤

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

I had so many kids shake my desk with their leg bouncing and I couldn't say anything for fear of being bullied more. To this day I still get enraged thinking about it. I don't mind anything else but don't shake me.

[@UnderestimatedGremlin_Thio]

Yes! This is why I have headphones in. Sometimes for music, most of the time to muffle noises. Luckily most of my teachers let me keep them in 😊

[@rosebridger2660]

Fr but my school had a low budget and they did the best they could because a lot of kids were purposely breaking things making them buy more and I think I was quite lucky with my teacher cause my teacher took her own money to buy fidgets and she had them in a bucket for anybody feeling anxious or angry ect. This was all in primary school cause my mum pulled me out of school in year 5 and honestly I'm glad she did cause having a lot of my dad's personality I'd get into a lot of fights in secondary I can't stand chavs and road men which is bad cause I live in the UK

I have Autism, and I can confirm this. I once cried for a whole class, but my teacher really sucks, she didn’t let me use my headphones, or walk out of the class. She told me to get over it. I told her “I have Autism, it’s not my fault.” She simply told me “that isn’t an excuse.”

[@1TZ.R0B1N.]

I have GAD and I’m both sides. In my engineering class I unconsciously would start clicking my pen and the person setting next to me would ask why I was doing it (brought me back to reality). But I swear if someone else was doing it I’d hyper fixate on the sound until it stopped.

I had a friend in elementary school with ASD. He had frequent sensory overload episodes, and I had the honor of being the only student that could bring him out of it. I also could shut down an entire room of yelling kids in my class so he could focus on my voice. 😅
Most of my childhood experiences have molded me into the person I am today, at 23 years of age.
Edit: miss typed ASD as ASD spectrum.

[@shadowunikat849]

Usually saying ASD implies they are on the spectrum because it stands for Autism spectrum disorder. I'm only saying this bc for a second i read it as Autism sensory disorder which is not what it stands for.

YES. We have a teacher currently who yells at us and ignores it when a few of us cover our ears. I had to cover my ears, and I had my earplugs in. She is not a good teacher.

[@daddyyahweh9328]

I also want to point out people with ADHD are often called "the loud ones" which brings up my trauma back in HS when teachers would constantly yell at me for being too loud or fidgety, especially as a girl. I feel bad for sure when distracting fellow students from learning, but I really can't help but bounce my leg in trying to concentrate.

@hanabi well I know that when I was little I went to an air show and I had to leave cuz the sound hurt my ears and they would pop. I went to one in Chicago not realizing they were having an air show. I ended up having a rant/ anxiety tbh I know it’s not for everyone… but I don’t understand… I voiced out my thoughts…” why is everyone standing around like it’s a parade? It’s not a big deal it’s just a stupid air show!”

I was undiagnosed ADHD/ASD most of my life. In college, we had shared tables and I always sit in front to help my focus. My table mate wouldn't stop shaking his leg. I try not to be mad at him cuz he might have ADHD and needed it. I finally got to the tipping point one day and part way in class, I had to remove myself and go to a different table. All other front tables was full so I had to do the second row. Rest of class was smooth sailing and I wasn't so anxious anymore.

I have ADHD and react similarly to distractions as the kid in the skit, but my classmates are jerks and do the triggering noises more when I ask them to stop, the teachers don’t really try to help.
E.X. I went to the principal to tell her about some bullying I was dealing with, I brought up that I was audio sensitive and that people would intentionally do stuff to trigger me (click their pen while staring directly at me and denying that they did it when I ask them to stop) the principal said she’d deal with it, they talked about the bullying but not the intentional triggering, my teacher also told me to “just ignore them” which I had tried and failed to do… so thanks teacher!

[@nerdenacho5499]

I feel your pain, people constantly try to trigger me to test me cause they think I’m pretending to be autistic, teachers really need to be trained on how to support and accommodate neuro-divergent students and not just in special schools it should be a mandatory part of becoming a teacher

[@madsfiedler3884]

they cant really do much about the other kids behaviour since they arent breaking rules. ik it sucks, mayhaps ask your teachers if you can have/bring accommodations like wearing headphones/earplugs to quiet the disruptive sounds.

[@MrsD4589]

If you are still in school you need to keep bringing it up to your teacher, than the principal, then the school board. Triggering you on purpose as a diagnosed ASD person is flat out bullying! They can do something, from banning click pens in the class to allowing you headphones. Its amazing how quickly they will do something when you get your parents and possibly a lawyer involved when they fail to protect you from bullying. Protip, email them your issues so you have a paper trail.

Tapping the pen can also be part of releasing anxiety. I have a fidget that I can tap and I have to hear the noise or it doesn’t work for me. My mom hates it and will be rude about is, so instead of tapping the pen/fidget, I’m biting my nails until they are wounds.
Edit: Also that ‘loud student’ wasn’t being loud. And just because they process things differently doesn’t mean it’s the other students fault. Kid needs to be deal with, without putting the blame on others. Those are normal habits, especially with anxiety.

[@l_ghtbulb3059]

Yes, it is a normal habit, but the problem was the kid saying, "It's not THAT loud.."
Sensory overload causes our senses to just go into overdrive, and it SUCK

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

​@L_ghtBulb I get that but nobody is more important than anybody else. It's one thing to ask her to stop for a few minutes, it's another to ask her to stop entirely. Just because someone isn't loud doesn't mean their issues aren't as valid. I literally am physically incapable of complaining, it terrifies me but being reprimanded and losing my ability to soothe would have me really upset and shut down (I don't generally cry but I'd be as close as possible) I would learn nothing for the rest of the day and my brain MIGHT fully check out of that class entirely for the rest of the year.

[@new0news]

The thing I'd be correcting right away is that the student cannot immediately freak out at the other student and become immediately mad at them for clicking their pen or fanning themself with their paper. So many kiddos I have to teach to talk to their peers with gentle language instead of immediately putting them down or getting angry when they haven't even expressed their needs or wants yet.

[@harperadhd]

I feel horrible cause I was definitely the kid who clicked pens subconsciously and people would get mad at me for it, I was I knew more about this when I was a kid

[@nerdenacho5499]

It’s not your fault that you clicked your pen subconsciously, it’s calming for some people, it’s not like you were doing it to deliberately provoke people, you also didn’t know about these things, I’m autistic and I really struggle with being over sensory but a huge reason why these situations happen in the first place are that people aren’t aware of these things or how to deal with them. At least you know now but that doesn’t mean you should completely change your habits for others at your own expense, just being aware that some people have sensory issues is already very helpful.❤

[@star7263]

Formally diagnosed with ADHD, this was one of the most distracting things when I was in school. Kids would talk during an assignment or a test and it was always so distracting, not to mention the sensory overload from pure chaos happening around me. I didn’t get diagnosed until after high school, so I was unable to receive accommodations. Not to mention, my school didn’t care much for students with disabilities. They were just labeled weird and a lot of them ended up being lumped into one classroom, separate from the rest of the school like they were some sort of disease (they’re not). It was a bit of a culture shock when I switched schools halfway through my senior year and they treated the kids like normal human beings.

[@angelalovell5669]

Okay Sarah, you HAVE to start rereading your comments before you post. You just said that one person should take responsibility for their sensory issues (happens to be the ND kid) but the other one doesn't have to take responsibility for being self centered and unconcerned about others? What the heck is THAT about?
You just implied that the person who is part of a marginalised group that already has a harder time existing in our world than others, should have to be more vigilant, more responsible and more financially stable than someone who has less challenges to deal with. That is not only discriminative and illogical, it's also dismissive and rude.
And you haven't even covered the fact that in other situations, the person doing the distracting could be ND too (lots of people with ADHD feeling this in the comments) so how would that play out according to your logic? Does the person who can't work with the sound have to shut themselves off, or the person who can't work WITHOUT the sound?
And certainly not the least problematic implication is that the ND kid shouldn't LEARN because they're different. They can't just wear noise cancelling headphones all day every day in class, especially not to compensate for a neurotypical kid who's ignorant of other people's needs. You teach the kid about consideration for others, you provide some resources for the ND child but you don't cut off the ND kid in favour of the NT kid being selfish and disruptive. It's actually against the law to stop a child having the option to actively participate in class because of a learning difference. And I sincerely doubt you would approve of a teacher allowing one student to be noisy and disruptive to the whole class in general, so why are you so keen to let this kid continue that behaviour when there is at least one other child who's not just annoyed and distracted and unable to work well, but genuinely distressed and suffering? You have a natural bias towards whom you consider to be "normal" and you clearly think that those people shouldn't have to adjust their behaviour for anyone, even though they have easier lives than people who aren't generally considered "normal" by people like you.
Sarah, I know you were trying to problem solve this situation but your intense ignorance about neurodiversity, classroom dynamics, teaching techniques and just general manners and consideration for others got you out at a discriminative, crappy, cruel answer.
Garbage response, try again.

You seem like the best teacher ever my teacher would just say “ just don’t pay attention to her.”

[@mia8123]

You’re such a great teacher

[@Natalie_525]

I like how’s she nice to both of the students😊

[@DogLover1718]

I love it when people understand

[@oliviadelgado2640]

This is so true my brother has autism and people don’t understand how different things may be for them like the noise or texture or if there routine is off they will throw a fit . These videos help a lot

[@onishaanthony-oj7kb]

I have cousin with autism and she couldn't talk right but now she can talk great I wish you were my teacher forever

[@MrAZULANGEL0]

You are the best teacher

[@fawnwiththe2spot]

THE BEST TEACHER EVER PLS MORE TEACHERS LIKE THIS

[@marvel_insane]

as a person with adhd and possibly autism i would have LOVED to have a teacher like you

[@BigDaddyStudioAnimations]

I have autism and this happens to me sometimes. Thank you very much for making more clear to people. I really appreciate it

[@Lavender_devil213]

I wish I had teacher likes these when the same issues happened to me. But it’s good to know that there are teachers that will help and try to explain it to others.

[@Pr3ppyZee]

I love all your videos❤

[@wheeliemum6253]

It's so awesome how much better the many strategies are understood than they were even just a few years ago.

[@AutisticScenmo]

I have ADHD, Autism, and anxiety disorder. when i was in 6th grade, my teachers didn’t follow much 504. it makes me so happy that there’s teachers who can understand this concept, and want to help people who have it.

[@BeeLover420]

I’ve got ADHD and I wish I had a teacher like you, I failed school so badly, especially as a young teenager and kid because no one had the right tools or knowledge to help. I got diagnosed when I was 14 and knowing what was wrong really helped me figure out solutions, these would’ve been amazing for me back then, amazing work mate❤

[@itsmeyourfavoritehuman]

I love how she had things to help him and also all learning and focus disorders are differnt i know my brother has it and her can't sit still and teachers are so helpful!

[@jasmine4035]

The fact that she actually has those noise isolating earbuds 😂

[@Kayllister291]

What? Why is that funny?

[@EmuPony1634]

I’m watching this as someone who literally got diagnosed with autism less that 4 hours ago. And everything just makes so much sense

[@whatacrazycat1512]

YOUR HAIR IS SO PRETTY 😊❤🥰😍

[@Iluvme_myselfandI]

We need more teachers that actually notice and are aware of kids that have any type of condition
Teachers like these are what make schools a better place

[@-PocketPuppies983-]

As someone with autism spectrum disorder and anxiety, I have trouble with repeatedly tapping pens like the anxious student. Although sounds don’t usually affect my overloads, crowds and loud places that I can’t escape are too much. I don’t scream or have a breakdown like other autistic people, but I sit in a silent panic, usually covering my ears and clenching my lips to try and even out the noise with pain. It sounds morbid but it’s what I’ve actually done. This video was accurately represented, but just remember that this and my own situation isn’t the case for all autistic kids. It’s a spectrum disorder and varies with every case. Great video, though!

[@WantedCriminalProductions]

I have a few of the same symptoms, especially with my ADHD. With the fanning thing, if I see it in the corner of my eye I will focus on it and not pay attention to anything else. Thank you for being a good teacher

[@jaimej110]

I wish I had a teacher like you

[@user-vm2hp1vs1o]

So I have Autism and adhd and The school always knew how sensory sensitive I was so they always put me with a teacher like this! I respect and appreciate these kinds of teachers so much!

[@shadowunikat849]

I enjoy that you make sure everything is sound for each student.

[@kingmack4731]

Those little visual blockers were my everything. It always gave me my own little corner and it was ultimate comfort. They're not used as much anymore, but even just a folder blocking chromebook screens during tests take away a good amount of stress/anxiety.

[@skeletonwarrior9393]

I wish my teachers had been this understanding and educative about autism

[@notavanoteliza8271]

I have autism and I’d LOVE to have a teacher like you!!! That sounds so amazing and I never really feel like I can go up to my entire class and tell them to stop being so loud because of my autism

[@Sagesworld.]

I wish you were my teacher 😢 I struggle with adhd and a tiny bit of autism, things are very loud to me because the first years of my life I had my tonsils in and it blocked my hearing, so I had to REALLY tune into sound to be able to hear, so then when I got my tonsils out everything was SO LOUD and I even covered my ears to the sound of crickets, and now I notice every little sound, in fourth grade I had a teacher who was similar to you and had headphones and a private barrier but she was so mean. We need more teacher like you, who are nice and understand things kids go through

[@katherinerowe4046]

I like you making these videos and there very interesting

[@user-wg4bf5hp2q]

As a assistant for a teacher that works with children that has disabilities this happens A LOT in the classroom. Also very relatable. 😊

[@Mushyy_]

This is a huge issue for me trying to focus in class so I am glad teachers are spreading awareness for situations like these !!

[@kirsty-anderson]

I wish my teachers were this accommodating! 😭💕

[@val-xoxogirl]

I would love to have you as my teacher ❤❤❤

[@patrickbrown4244]

I wish I had teachers like that.

[@KCundercover2022]

Wish someone helped me like this in the class growing up

[@user-kg3rj2kd5t]

I NEED THIS TEACHER

[@JackleTon]

Thsi si really valid

[@mariaandreaoliveragarcia1567]

I wish I had a teacher like this

[@stephaniecrookshanks6241]

[@mystery4711]

When someone says stop just stop please

[@Unicorn20]

Omg your so great with that i have autism myself i love how you do it

[@Kiaras_World_.]

This is so relatable to me
Even when its quiet to everyone else it sounds so loud to me that I want to explode!
And that's how my bad mode starts😀

[@yuriayato9576]

I wish I had a teacher like you :(

[@little_gay_boy45]

As an autistic teen w adhd, I've been in these situations before and I wish I had teachers that were as accommodating as you, thank you for being so kind ❤

[@theartofhaleigh]

I relate so much to the noise and the visual distraction bothering me!

[@hippyhair1920]

I have autism and nobody talks about it. I’m so glad somebody understands thank you so much 😭

[@kyleeolvera8062]

Awesome awesome kids ever do that because clicking on their pain can also help them focus

[@Abigail-yu2uv]

I love how she handled this my brother has autism

[@srhfitzpatrick]

The privacy screens!!! YES! We had one science/math teacher who used them and I always appreciated having it during an exam.
