The first thing I would love for people to understand about sensory processing and sensory overload is that a NeuroDivergent Person, with sensory processing difference’s ability to tolerate certain stimuli can vary, from week to week, month to month, even day to day.
The ability to tolerate sensations can very, depending on a variety of factors.
One of those factors being how well rested, or how well off that individual NeuroDivergent Person is doing, on that particular day.

It can be the perfect storm if that person is feeling low energy that day, or they’ve already got a lot on their plate.
Maybe they’re already really stressed out about some personal thing or some change that’s happening in their life, or they’ve not slept well all week.

These things happening tend to make my sensory overload more likely, or make me more prone to having sensory overload.

#AskingAutistics - Anyone else, who experiences this, what are some things that, for you, can make sensory overload, and sensory overwhelm, more likely to occur?
