I use loops for every day activities including school and the kids ones are definitely the best for school and social places

I was also labelled as a kid as the loud but hardworking and 'nerdy' one. I have been picked on my life for never fitting in and meeting social expectations. Recently, I have been researching for answers why I'm so loud and 'weird' on the outside but quiet inside. I think I'm autistic, ADHD with social anxiety and high masking for all.

I appreciate the reply! As for an update for anyone else following this or could find this helpful: I tend to not go anywhere by myself as the summer has made everything worse, and something I learned the hard way is apparently pregnancy can make dysautonomia much worse (who would have thought?). Quick update: pregnancy makes it 10000x worse (at least for me), found an amazing and supportive partner, POTS can sometimes go away after pregnancy, life is terrifying but good. And we have a cat (tax added she sleeps like this). Long update: I saw my cardiologist and he basically told me that life is going to suck and to avoid concussions, but he’s had patients that had the dysautonomia go away after pregnancy so it will either go back to normal, get worse, or disappear after birth but right now it’s the worst 9 month flare I’ve ever had. Also to inspire some hope in others, I have found the best partner in the world since making this post and she’s amazing. I know for many of us it’s very hard to keep any form of relationships and it was honestly terrifying to have to share my “burdens” with someone else but it’s not even been an issue. When I first told her about it and what my experience is her first reaction was that everyone has something they struggle with and it’s hypocritical to see others as less than for their struggles. She was scared at first by my syncope episodes since I get twitchy during that look like seizures but all is good. If I pass out in public she’s there to help, if I do it at home in the middle of the night she gets up carries me back to bed and makes sure I’m okay. It’s not even an annoyance to her and she’s never made me feel bad about it. We are worried a little about caring for a baby with my conditions when she goes back to work afterwards but we have a solid support system around in the area. Thanks for checking in and offering advice, I kind of forgot about this post tbh and I appreciate the follow up! :)

I’m also in the UK and my schools I had timeout cards and I got one. I have the engage loops and no way I also have the sound called to q20i thank you for being so helpful wiggle I know that’s probably not your name but thanks

I would recommend. See other chat named sunflower lanyard for other info. I got one and used it occasionally my parents found out by finding it rather than me telling them. I got mine at a local library you can get them at Tesco m and s and argos uk can get them at most airports. Or online. Good luck hope this helps
