Communication is the best. If you had headphones you can just be like, hey guys I’m gonna go do this! (Basically alone time), turn around in your bed, put your blanket over yourself, and enjoy your quiet time

like you don’t have your own room within the dorm?

I’m in a triple so I kinda get what ur going through and tbh you just gotta find other places on camps where you can be alone. It sucks but it’s the only way, personally I spend hours in the low sensory section of our library and just walking around

def find other places on campus where you can be alone, see if you can get noise cancelling headphones, and look into getting a single room accommodation!

Also at night when the lights are off it’s not the same but it’s still nice

on my campus there was a “sensory room” which was just a quiet room, and if assume your uni has an accessibility center, and if so, also go to them and ask for recommendations. this may also be helpful if you are undiagnosed, bc idk what they can do for u if u r, but they might b able to help! communication IS helpful, but that depends on your roommates’ understanding of neurodivergence, and most ppl dont rly understand it, so if you feel comfortable, explain ur situation to them, otherwise go

to accessibility services! also maybe reach out to your ra (or whatever they call the resident assistants)
