✨Autistic shutdowns occur when something in our environment is intolerable. They could be triggered by transitions, unpredictability, sensory overwhelm, social overload, or stress (to list just a few).

And even though I understand now why it is happening, and that it is not my fault, my brain still insists on beating me up about it. I tried so hard to stop it while it was happening, but it was so intense and so physical, it was like fighting a tidal wave. all the people there were so nice and I would have loved to engage, but my brain just completely shut down. 🥺 I'm so grateful to Toren and my husband for being so under
