Sensory overload and explaining / card?

I had a bit of sensory overload at an NAS branch meeting last week; due to the noise. I put my hands over my ears and someone realised what was happening and came over to comfort me.

The branch has a Facebook group and someone mentioned something about sensory overload and I said I had it group last week.

We had a meeting today and I received an apology from the branch manager for not realising what was going on. In her defence, she was dealing with someone else and was nowhere near me. She has suggested that I get a card so I can show it when I'm having sensory overload.

Any idea if NAS has a card for this? I know there's the Autism Alert card; but this isn't what I'm after. Just after something which just says something like "I am having sensory overload" and maybe something on the back stating what someone should / shouldn't do.

  • Thank you for the eBay link, I'll take a look. My daughter is going into sensory overload today, I knew as soon as I woke up this morning and saw the frost that she would, sure enough she started panicing as soon as I opened the door and in the car on the school run seemed 'freaked' by the fact there was frost on her window (she is the same with rain).
