i'm autistic and have quite the sensibilities, including to light. taking a shower is something that has always been extremely calming to me, it shuts a lot of my brain down, including, sometimes, my anxiety disorder part. taking a shower in the dark is the closest thing to a state of pure inner bliss i can reach easily.
Also autistic, I very much enjoy baths in darkness or very low light.
Poor man's isolation tank.
exactly! :D
I have ADHD and it's similar for me. What also helps is background rain noise. Did you try that? Im using cozy time on my PC as it also can play additional relaxing music and has a pomodoro timer.
it's not enough for me. i have heavy rain currently and while it does calm me down, it's only one sense that is being stimulated. it's really the water running all over me that does the trick and the light of lights makes it that much easier to just disappear in my mind.
I wish autism made me sensible :p
