My name is Kylee I'm in the 5th grade and I have adhd autism and anxiety and I always get teased for covering my ears and taking breaks when it's too loud at school I also get bullied for being honest how can I explain this to my classmates
(Edit) the class knows because I asked my teacher to do a read aloud for calm classroom so then I told the class
It is tricky with kids they can be very cruel but with society the way it is now you could get some help from your school. Whatever you do just keep communicating with your parents and family because they will hold you up when your struggling.
I got loop engage earplugs in October 2023 and they are amazing!
Always remember you don't owe anybody an explanation but if you really want to there's a few things you can say.
1.) you can tell them that you have adhd and autism and you process the world differently.
2.) one thing I always say is all the noises you can hear and many you can't I can't block out, and there all at the same volume which it almost all the way up so when a louder noise happens it's much louder to me than to you,
3.) keep taking breaks and all of that I don't know where you are from but I have a 504 plan which clearly states thing I can do to help me during school including breaks, headphones, testing in separate rooms, the ability to do class work in other rooms, etc. and with that when people ask me what I'm do all I have to say is it's part of my accommodations.
Hope that helped a little
I'm in a similar situation and recommend loop earplugs as block noise but keep your hands free also just do what you need and its always easier if someone is there to help or is understanding just rember we are here
