Shutdowns happen to me when I have taken in too much sensory infomation and I can't process it all. Or if I am highly stressed or emotionally charged.
I become withdrawn, I don't/can't speak, I can't engage eye contact and I can't process any furthur information. I try to hide my eyes from light and find a quiet place (preferably dark). If I am home I hide under blankets on the bed and stay there as long as necessary.
