“How was your day?”
“Joey had another meltdown at the grocery store today. It happens every time. I wish he could tell me why he hates going there. Why does his autism always have to make everything so difficult?”
Joey’s thoughts on the sensory overload he experienced at the store: Lights on-off-on-off-on-off. Noise. People move. People move. People move. Many people! Noise. Stuff. Stuff. Stuff. Noise. Bright colors. Red, yellow, blue, purple, pink. Too much. Too much. Too much. Eyes hurt. Ears hurt. Head hurts. No. NO. NO!!!
