  • I think the system lost my reply - or i pressed the wrong button - i think it’s when i’m experiencing sensory overload (since diagnosis  i realise that’s the issue) - lots of jostling people in a queue, loud noise or vibration - i can’t wait to get away. i find it so distressing i’m almost bumping into people to just get out of there
