As someone with a condition similar to Narcolepsy I am potentially subject to sleep attacks - without notable warning.

As far as i am aware, the current ToS would result in me being potentially banned should i have a sleep attack while streaming and not have a Mod in chat at that precise moment.

I am currently a small streamer (and while that reduces the likelihood of me being reported for 'unattended chat while streamer sleeps' it doesn't eliminate it - and that may change over time), and as such it is not always possible to have a mod lurking around "just in case".

As Narcolepsy is not that uncommon it would be beneficial if you consider the impacts of a "you snooze, you lose (your account)" policy.

Problem:
- Search for "declare yourself autistic twitch tv" and no expected results will come.

• The BIG issue:
  • TWTV has grown up and its too huge, there is not enough ppl on the earth that can track down what is being said, who is about to commit a crime, who is about to harass someone. That's why we should focus on the "system" itself. I am first focusing on the ppl with autism, the most sensible people, the others should be next.

Major characteristics for people at the classic side of the autism spectrum that can manifest on TWTV:
- They don't wanna that other users recognize them as an autistic, they don't wanna have a special treatment. But they should be.
- They have issues recolonizing harassment, cause they don't think that people would see then as a treat.
- Most of then like to accumulate anger inside, cause even tho they can't truly recognize a harassment, they can feel it.

Thoughts:
- People should be able to self declarative autistic when they register (a checkbox).
- New users that have are already registered should be asked if they have any
mental/physical difficulty on a new modal when they open the twitch (even on the app).
- You guys don't ask the age of the user, you should starting getting it soon. (I remember that you guys used to ask that, why did you stop?)
- The leak of the personal state (physical/mental condition of the user) of the user by a streamer should be a reason for punishment (30 ban maybe?)
if the person that has the data leaked feels damage somehow.

My Personal solution, as if I worked for TWTV:
- Make a new terms of service exclusive for people with autism, also create the following scheme:
- Disable private messages automatically for their profile.
- Display a big RED warning to those that want to tag someone with autism on the chat,
the message should say something "Be careful with what you are saying, this person has a special condition".
- Make impossible to track how many Austin users are on TWTV thought the API
- Hide bad words by default for those that have self declared autistic.
- Make a new icon that would be the first displayed for the user that have self declared autistic an [A] only for
the streamer chat, the normal chat should not be display the [A]
- A new option for the streamer should appear (a toggle) that would display all the social/physical difficulty for
his users (I am thinking that in a near future other problems such ADHD would be implemented as well with its own
particular solutions)

Overall View:
- People with autism should definitely have a special treatment cause they have always have a different vision, they are thinking
one step ahead, most of the times but some times they are really behind tho. And is in that area that we can help them.
That's why we should act, as a community, as a group, and build space for then to have a have a better mental health and let then show how beautiful
they really are. How their lens in their eyes are different and how everyone that hear their words feels special, just like they are.

If this idea is non-viable, or it can't be done for now, let me now.

I'm experiencing an issue on Android 11 where the volume coming from any and all streams through the Twitch mobile app is distinctly quiet to the point of being inaudible unless I set my phone to max volume. This has caused intense usability and accessibility issues on my Android mobile phone as I have to set my phone to max volume to be able to hear any Twitch channel through speakers and/or headphones which causes intense pain when using any other sound/voice app such as Discord, messaging apps, etc. Is there a way the Twitch mobile app's volume can be better adjusted along with an in-app volume slider? I love Twitch and want to be able to watch streams and use chatting services simultaneously but this distinctly low default audio from the app is concerning.

Loud sounds with streamer store is hurting my, and probaly, others hearing
Beeing someone who watchs streams all day long while using PC, I need to report that some streamers are using the Stream Store in chat to sell audios and sounds with external app linked to the chat store.
I liked the Idea, but now I can watch some streams with this feature, because they are using rocket, fireworks and some loud sounds, this is hurting my hearing, so I NEED to close the stream I was watching and search for another one. I dont want to remove store or something like that, I just think that could be someway to prevent streamers to let LOUD sounds play with store...
