Good evening!
I was wondering if anyone has any advice on coping with skin to skin contact (calming strategies etc.).
And no, just not allowing it isn‘t an option in this case. It is traditional practice for the graduates to start with a standard dance at the graduation ball. Tomorrow will be the first of three lessons and I am terrified. I will dance with a girl I do not know very well and and she also has long nails, which will just add to the sensory torture. I‘ll probably wear something with long sleeves tomorrow to keep the sensory issues at bay for now, but I bought a neckholder dress for the actual event (before I knew about the mandatory dance)… So no sleeves there and it will be too hot for a jacket at the location (I know the room, it isn‘t properly ventilated with so many people in it).
Any advice? I mean, I‘ll have to suck it up eventually, but I‘d be happy to not have a shut- or even meltdown in the middle of the opening dance. Sorry if I sound far too dramatic… it just worries me quite a bit.
