In their own world 🌎!

Everyone at the gym had earbuds. My observation the past few days. Everyone at the airport had earbuds. Everyone everywhere are having earbuds! Everyone are in their own worlds!

Autism means being in their own world. We restrict our son with his music and headphones. In fact he doesn’t bring his music outside the house. He needs to learn and understand what is happening in the real world.

But I am soon realizing the world outside is trying to isolate themselves individually! Isn’t that an irony?

Early morning pondering. Have a good day.

  1. It’s an irony… here at home my daughter if at all she is doing anything else except studies… she has to have these pods on! It really puts me off…
    We talk about connecting…. Huh… ask them !!!

    1. I saw three teenave friends sitting togetherat the gym. Each had their own phone and ear buds! This is socialization? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

      1. I miss the days when time was our only enemy—no matter how much we had, it was never enough. Now, people claim they want to connect, yet they keep the doors bolted shut.

      2. I get you. You can reach anyone, anywhere and it is not hard.

  2. This is becoming the culture worldwide.

    1. Something people all over the world agree upon 😃!

      1. Yes, and it is isolating them more and more.

  3. Funnily enough, I’m reading and commenting on your post from the gym with my headphones on. My headphones have become a security blanket in public – to create a boundary and space between my inner and outside world. It turns out it’s not just neurodiverse people that need to tune into their own inside frequency! 😁

    1. Ha ha! Enjoy your quiet space!

  4. It certainly is!
