🙏Thank you for your response. I don’t know if I am autistic or not but online tests and reading around the subject (and family connections) make me think I probably am. I love that Eliot quote and had never made the connection before.

Yes. We are all different. Autistic people don’t have a monopoly on getting overloaded. I think that shift happens in autistic experiences too though? Sensory overstimulation leads to mental and physical shutdown / exhaustion. I might be misunderstanding you though. 😇

Thank you 🙏. Yes definitely a rollercoaster. 🎢
Proper break …plus planning … yes! Whole new year group and curriculum to prepare for. Looking forward to it. 😎

And it occurs to me that this description is perhaps evocative of the autistic experience of hypersensitivity to sensory stimuli, and the resulting feeling of emotional overwhelm.

I wonder if others have made this connection? [2/2]
