This, honestly, is a pretty accurate representation of what an overload feels like for an autistic person!
And what’s better is that the group that uploaded this video, the National Autistic Society, never talk about curing autism. They actually care for autistic people and are aiming for it to be more widely understood (unlike Autism Speaks)
I love this one, it is SO RIGHT ON!!! WARNING though I found it to be triggering for me.
High pitch noises / overlapping voices / overlapping closed captioning / confusion.
If any of my allistic followers want to know what it is like and why I wear noise canceling ear buds, this is why.
The thing is, it is so much worse than this. Because like, take for example - ever squeek of a shoe on the floor, every creak of a seat, every beeping watch, rustling paper, cough, sneeze, and air conditioner, EVERYTHING is like this, all the time.
I started crying because holy shit. This is so accurate.
