Controling broken volume controls in 2 ways - out and in, especially at church

On Sundays I go to church.
Sometimes I'm troubled with my broken volume control.

As you may often imagine with autism, there is a problem of the volume out.
It's really hard for me to stop and sit still.
To cope with my internal urge to move or utter words suddenly, I often draw pictures on my sketchbook.
Interestingly, the more serious the internal urge to burst, the better the picture appearing on sheets of the sketch book.
Even with this behavioral replacement, I sometime sore muscles after that.

There is also the problem of the volume in.
Although I kind of like singing worship and praise songs, I can hardly stand when they are sung in a chapel. I feel the volume I hear is too loud for me to stand calm.
My perception force me to sing praising song outside. It sometimes affect the sense that I'm a member of the church. It's taken a long time that I'm accepted and a part of the church though careful conversations from the pastor and other church members.
(Through this experience I found out about myself that I can enjoy music at a relatively low volume.)

I'm explain my difficulties at church, inspired by the following article, "Is Your Church Open to Autism -Christianitytoday.com- ". This has given me another good explanation of what I'm too struggling with at church.
