The Autistic Experience of Sensory Overwhelm, Meltdowns, and Shutdowns
2019-12-13
An autistic exploration and breakdown of how sensory overload, meltdowns, and shutdowns feel in the moment and after the fact.
It wasn’t a bad day, in fact it was pretty good. I had worked a little overtime and was bringing some dinner home to my wife.
You’d think the world were ending.
With how null-coloured cracks rack the sky.
And razor winds shred the upside down sea overhead,
Into shards of spray.
