How Do You Manage Sensory Overload in Daily Life?

Hi everyone,
I’m an autistic adult and one of the biggest challenges I face is sensory overload—especially in places like grocery stores, public transport, or even during casual social hangouts. I’m curious how others here deal with it.

Do you use tools like noise-canceling headphones, sunglasses, or have certain routines that help? I’d love to hear what works for you.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

I battle through it, then go home to a good book and a good cat, I often find a walk with my dog helps too, providing its somewhere quiet, I'm fairly lucky, living in a rural area, I can usually find somewhere peaceful to go.
