Do what you need to do to be successful and function, I promise people aren’t judging you nearly as much as you think they are! This may just be a thing unique to my college/brand of nerd -I go to an engineering school and we’re all neurodivergent- but there’s this kid on campus who carries around a bread plush everywhere and genuinely my only thought when I see him is, glad you’re doing well bread kid! One time we didn’t see him for a week and my school’s Yak was full of well wishes for him.

Also misophonia - I use earbuds and play brown noise. For tests/exams if someone’s already making lots of fun sounds before the exam starts I put in foam earplugs
