Hi Louised,

Welcome to the community.
I joined here shortly before diagnosis in my 60s, so to me you have received an early diagnosis.
Sensory overload used to happen more frequently for me than it does now. I have learned to manage and plan my day/week/month, and this has helped reduce demands and decrease sensory overload. Of course, many things are out of my control …then I become overwhelmed and exhausted.
