Adult Developmental Disorders: Sensory Hypersensitivity and the Work Environment—Searching for a Place Where I Can Value Myself

I wonder what kind of place would be wonderful to work in. Amidst the sweltering heat every day, I let my imagination wander while commuting on the train. I wish there were a place I could feel like 'going to' right nearby.

I have thought about a few things. Regarding a 'workplace where I can value myself' that would allow me to work. The important thing here is not the goal of 'being valued by others,' but the active state of 'being able to value myself.' This is very important, and when switching into my working self, it becomes a core aspect for me. I have thought about a few, and I was able to come up with five points.
・Will my hypersensitivity worsen?
・Will excitement cling to me?
・Is there difficulty in switching moods?
・Is my concentration unbalanced, either becoming hyper-focused or, conversely, scattered?
・How can I take breaks?

While the content of the work is also a concern, you can see how much the work environment influences me. Especially regarding sensory hypersensitivity, because the waves are large even in daily life, it takes time and ingenuity to soothe the excitement in my brain. I wish the road I was walking on was a futon... I wish a pillow would fly in from somewhere, and my favorite body pillow was right next to me... I conveniently think to myself that it would be nice if I could ground myself anytime, anywhere.
I think this applies to many people, but if the work environment does not align with the 'time to value myself,' it can be fatal. I feel that realizing this is also related in a positive way to my attendance at this employment support program. There were times when facing my own strengths and weaknesses head-on was painful, but it is because I overcame that that I am here today.

I wonder how I will be able to face the time to 'value myself' from now on. With gratitude to the many people who cooperate and support me, and gratitude to myself for doing my best, I have come to think that I want to value myself again tomorrow.
