This might not help, but it helped me a little.

Look at your relationships. Do you desire relationships? Do you put effort into those relationships? Do you find them rewarding, or stressful? Make changes to the ones that are stressful. If they become less stressful, see how that impacts the rest.

Auditory processing + fine motor control is stressful enough, I'd take steps to minimize stressor here if it were me.

In particular, I have to have 0 noise sometimes. I get those big ass power tool ear muffs slide safety goggles on and a bright vest with work gloves. You'd be amazed at how much better you feel with this "armor" on? Or at least that's what I go with. I like wearing "armor"

No one is going to ask you questions, and if they do, you can make the conversation into one you want , "sorry, I'm on a schedule, I'd really like to get this done," or "sorry, this is worksite protective gear, and I'm not onsite." or if your feel brave tell em what it's for "I wear this so I can go about my day in the same comforts as everyone else, I'd love to tell you what it all does." That's at least my plan. I don't know if it will actually work and now I'm talking myself out of doing this anymore
