Best autism experience (what I call reality) video/interactive simulation I've ever seen. Especially ~2:50 with that lady calling you weird and the silverware dropsztztzt🫨😵‍💫😫. I was already giving a fake smile when that happened. Whoever made this knows!

I thought this was gunna be like...a house party. In which case I was going to say - statistically speaking there's probably another weirdo out there. So go find them, and you can chill. This is some kinda...block get together or something (that's like a family get together?) and I think in these situations you can just kinda shrink away and nobody is going to ask what the hey you're doing. But also as things are nowadays, I think people leave people alone a lot more than things used to be.

Hooph, but the video itself - along with the Walmart-tism one is too damn much sensory-wise for me. But idk if this is how I experience the world myself. It's scratchy, but not like this for me. I will say the more people, the more I get pushed into fight or flight until I am just "whatever" I set myself to exist through it.
