What is your experience of sensory overload, a meltdown, or a shutdown? What physical or mental symptoms you get as a result of being overstimulated?

Why on earth would I want to hide that my ears are occupied? I use headphones as a visual cue to keep people away in public 🤣

I get it though & I love the idea for social interactions, so you don't have to worry about people thinking you're rude ☺️

Construction noise is being replaced by the Shop with a Cop procession a couple of blocks away. 🫠

Y’all.

It’s. A. Day.

My undiagnosed #SensoryOverwhelm had combined with undiagnosed #dysautonomia into a perfect storm of cognitive decline — because it happened during the pandemic & I don’t have family, it was no one’s responsibility to notice. #DisabilityJustice #poverty

11. Do you have meltdowns?

Sure do! Was on the verge of a meltdown all morning actually. Usually caused by sensory overwhelm - I wrote a thing about it ...

I never had sensory issues as a kid (that I was aware of at least.) We used to low key make fun of my mom for being scent sensitive in the 90s and karma is a bitch! I almost passed out from the smell of citrus scrubbing bubbles in my 100 square foot office. 🤢🥴 #neurodivergent #sensoryoverwhelm

The realness of the world made me get #sensoryoverwhelm.

The cars were too fast. The bumps on the steering wheel too bumpy. The noise of other cars too loud. The radio too yappy. There were weird smells and it was too bright out. Something on my shirt itched and my seat belt set weird.
