Seatbelts are not one of my particular sensory issues, but in general with stuff I try to remind myself that some things are worth being uncomfortable for. It’s an evaluation: how long will I be uncomfortable for, and how uncomfortable? What am I getting out of it? How hard would it be to reduce or eliminate this discomfort? Will I be able to take some time to collect myself soon?
I’d prefer people not die or get mangled but it does remind me that some forms of autism include touch oversensitivity. Is there a solution to that?
