This comes across as terribly misinformed and condescending at the same time. Try living with someone with autism if you think sensory overload (noise or otherwise) cannot or should not cause real problems for people.

People are not wholly defined by their disabilities. In the case of someone with autism experiencing sensory overload, I expect them to build coping mechanisms because of their condition. Having a library of tools will improve their lives.
