@dramypsyd@actuallyautistic I'm still learning how this looks for me, usually it takes the form of crying, overwhelm+difficulty communicating. I noticed I need people to not be in my face with talking/questions & not touch me/rub my arm or back or hug me unless I am calm enough to consent (& want that). I usually can't communicate this in the situation best would be if they can remove me from the situation, leave people/noise/smells, lay me down in a darkened room, shield me from other people.
