Thread by @AutSciPerson

This thread/offer is for parents who have autistic kids with auditory sensitivity & have financial hardship,

to help buy acoustic foam/soundproofing for their room or space.

Please share -

1/9

The ko-fi account I made had the specific goal to give acoustic foam to autistic kids and their families who need it.

Thanks to a generous donation recently, I can help 2-3 families with this currently.

2/9

I plan on continuing to do this whenever I get donations to that account,

So if the autistic person in your family is really highly in need of soundproofing due to auditory sensitivity, such as conflicting access needs/noisy home and can't move locations,

3/9

and the autistic person very much needs soundproofing and you cannot afford it,

You can fill out this google form I made to be put on a list - forms.gle/1JgY3UP1GtQF96…

and then I will reach out to 2-3 people via email.

4/9

Again, unfortunately I can only help 2-3 people at the moment but that's more than helping 0 people!

And if you do have some money & are considering soundproofing a room for an autistic person with auditory sensitivity, I recently was recommended this website, which has quite reasonably priced (and effective) acoustic foam - foamforyou.com/commercial.../…

If you're wondering how to apply acoustic foam/where to put it in the space, there's a relatively helpful guide here (do note that you likely want "absorption" only..

7/9

rather than "diffusion" that this article talks about, and the type of acoustic foam depends on the person - for me, I don't need the foam that dampens low frequencies, but do need those panels that dampen mid- and high- frequencies):

Please feel free to share the google forms link, and this post, in parent groups or to anyone who you think would benefit (putting link here again) -

Redoing this link because it didn't seem to work the first time -

foamforyou.com/residential-fo…

This isn't an asking for donations thread so I didn't put the link (please only donate if you have money to do so and there are not other more urgent causes to donate to)

but since someone asked, here's the link -
ko-fi.com/autisticscienc…

And if anyone knows of any facebook groups I could share this information in, please let me know!

I don't have any responses at the moment.
