I like to give people I don’t know the benefit of the doubt before deciding that they’re just a selfish inconsiderate twat.

Accomodations for your disability in the work place, while completely valid and necessary, shouldn’t get to interfere with the accomodations needed for any other person in that office. If the noise is constant and loud, that probably ruins it for at least one other office tenant with a different disability.
His noise goes through his own headphones, or a non-noise related cue is found to give him the same kind of feedback he needs, to give him what he needs while not interfering with anyone else’s equally pressing needs

I absolutely do not disagree here, office noises are one of the primary reasons I will not return to an office. I can’t even deal with people eating from a ceramic bowl with a metal spoon.
