all of my favorites that help adapt my life to make it easier and healthier for me!
noise cancelling headphones help make the world less overstimulating :) if you want to be less noticeable I recommend air pods - which will be in another rec <3
Shop Headphones | Bluetooth, Wireless, Headsets
if you want to be more discreet but still happy and calm, i highly recommend the apple airpods, definitely worth the price
Noise-Cancelling Headphones
last set! these are a good option if you only want them for the noise cancelling part! they are just earplugs with adjustable levels of noise cancelling and are VERY small and discreet! Also a fair amount cheaper (since they aren’t electronics)
Loop Earplugs
these socks are so comfy and hold together well for a long time! they are the perfect length as well and are very soft!
Target Lettuce Edge Socks
i’m not the biggest fan of driving, but having a steering wheel cover helps keep the texture of the steering wheel with the changing humidity the same so I don’t get overstimulated!!
Steering Wheel Covers
sometimes feeling my hair on my neck irritates me, so i love using claw clips to put my hair up! feels less restrictive than a hair tie
Hair Claw Clip
i always stress out about smelling good so I carry a travel sized of my favorite perfume, this one smells AMAZING
Burberry Goddess
i hate the feeling of having dry hands, and I don’t like my hands smelling like anything, so unscented lotions are the best thing ever and I normally keep a mini one in my bag at all times
Unscented Lotion
i don’t want my hands to get dirty or sticky
Hand Sanitizer
i always carry around a water bottle to remind myself to drink more water!
Owala
i’m short and have sensitivity to certain textures, so i alter my clothes a lot/cut tags out!
Fabric Scissors
i have a hard time getting around to one trash can all the time, so to make it easier for me I have trash cans all over the place!
Miniature Trash Can
i use white board to-do lists and calenders to remind myself of things I have to do throughout the week
Calendar & Planning Boards | Quartet
i stim with my hands so i love these
Thinking Putty
i struggle to get all my vitamins because of my limited diet, and struggle with pills as well, so these have been a great find!!!
Vitamin Patches
again, as an autistic adult who struggles to eat this is AMAZING and so worth the money
EllaOla
i NEED this as someone with object permanence, again so worth the money and so helpful to remind me to use certain things!!
Bathroom Shelves & Shelf Units
this is kinda embarassing but i struggle with the noises with metal silverware so i tend to use plastic (and cheaper! ikea, target, and other stores have good ones as well)
Plastic Silverware
again with the noise sensitivity, it’s much easier for me to use plastic kitchenware over ceramic plates or glass! (and these are SO cheap)
