I don't have an experience that can allow me to relate to why a normal TV sound output would cause problems for an Aspie. Having said that, I'm able to empathize how this person would be suffering, so I'd make accommodations by either turning the sound way down, or using headphones.

Very considerate in a "one-on-one" scenario. However what do you think the reality is for most other Neurotypicals if faced with the same issue who are even cognizant of the existence of alternate neurological profiles ?

1) Those who want to understand and succeed in doing so.
2) Those who want to understand and fail.
3) Those who are indifferent and default to everyone conforming to a numerically overwhelming social majority.

This is what we have to deal with all the time.
