Autism and too much information
This film was created by people on the autism spectrum to show what it can be like to get to much information.
Please like and share to help us advance autism awareness and information about sensory overload to the wider public.
Thanks for your help! And thanks to the National Autistic Society for producing this film!
Now do a second one for the mother being autistic. Show her trying to hear through the narrow opening in the glass at the ticket sales. Trying to make a decision about which seats. Too many choices! Which credit card is she going to pay with? Too many choices! Her clothes are scratching her, too. Her throat is swelling up from someone else’s perfume, and she feels so guilty about having to bring her child. She’s starting to get hungry. And this is only her first stop of the day. Will she make it? Autism is not just for children!
Great start! Now add a music soundtrack and perfume in the air. Rub your hands over some sandpaper while watching this, too.
The meltdown video the father needs to stop talking to him when in meltdown and not say don’t do that..ANY voice in meltdown adds to the overload of the brain as omits giving it something else to try to go in..don’t touch or especially talk until they rebound and start talking to YOU..its adrenalin and toxins built up in nervous system them hitting brain cells that meltdown happens..It has to be released I can tell u if in meltdown that voice escalates and would really annoy ..many parents are learning quiet reduces meltdown time
