Hi everyone! I have just been invited to a social event that is in a public setting and will likely be very loud (involving drinking, music etc). I have declined to accept for the moment (as I would like some time to assess whether it would be better for me to attend or to give it a miss, due to social and sensory issues). Does anyone have any advice regarding how to make this decision? I find it hard when I don’t know whether I will enjoy a social event or not and equally feel that I don’t want to miss out on a fun time with my friends. Any advice or experiences people wish to share (if comfortable to do so) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Maybe you could commit to at least 5 minutes, with the option of leaving if it's too much? At least you'll then know.
