Yes I do I get sensory overdrive even though I love to touch
textures with my fingertips, a little bit of sensory for me is good but not a
whole lot at once. I go into Trade Aid almost every single day and in one of
the display boxes are the rings with rice all around them and if I am having
one of those days that I am not getting enough sensory I just play with the
rice because the rice has an effect on me like people on drugs. I seek out sensory by running my fingertips
along shop windows because it has a calming effect on me and I know that a lot
of people stare at me while I am running my fingertips across the shop windows
but I don’t care because they don’t understand.
I went and saw my first movie in a while couple of weekends ago the
Hungry games “Catching Fire” I didn’t really enjoy it because my sensory
overdrive kicked in because there was too much happening at once on the screen
and afterwards I felt like terrible.
Then last Friday my Mum had dinner around at her house to celebrate her birthday
and when people started to arrive I disappeared into the living room to watch
tv and then later on I played on her computer in her study. Sensory overdrive is something that I can’t
grow out of and I know how to manage so I get the right amount of sensory every
single day.
