You have autism. And you can’t stay in crowded or loud places very long because you get overstimulated quickly when you’re losing energy. And when you’re overstimulated, you’re grumpy and upset.

You and your boyfriend, Simon, are at an amusement park.

You’ve been here all day, and you’re tired.

“What do you wanna do now?” he asks, walking next to you.

“I don’t know! Anything!” you snap back.

Everyone is talking or screaming, the rides are making noises. You’re overwhelmed.
