I concur with Asselineau et al. (2024) that workplace silence profoundly impacts individual and organizational processes. Although they have detailed its significance across different contexts, a vital aspect merits deeper investigation. Namely, many autistic individuals exhibit hypersensitivity to sensory stimuli, such as noise. For this demographic, as well as for nonautistic individuals with sensory processing disorders, exposure to noise can be extremely distressing. In this commentary, I outline how Asselineau et al.’s ideas can be further applied in the context of autistic employees and those with sensory processing disorders to benefit both affected individuals and employers
