☐ Unfamiliar environment
☐ Noisy, crowded or bright
☐ With the toddler
☐ In the company of othersPick a maximum of two to avoid sensory overload.
Examples:
✅ I can go to unfamiliar, noisy spots, but I have to go there alone to notice early when I have had enough and be in full control of how to make my way through the place and when to leave.
✅ I can go somewhere with the toddler and others, but it has to be a familiar, quiet place.
✅ I can take the kid to a spot that is unfamiliar, but I have to be alone with them. (To be honest, I'd even rather go without my wife. It is an extra person to take into account.) And I have to be pretty sure that it is not too busy.
