Thanks for this Rach! I just wrote about how sensory issues can *occasionally* leave me in splashing around in the territory of behaving like an arsehole... And part of that is because I am following certain rules I don't actually agree with (dressing feminine cos I look feminine) maybe I can about turn on this... Kind of a big one to think about, but thanks for making me think on it.

I wonder if this works with decision paralysis. Next time I’m in that “deer in the headlights” moment, unable to decode my next steps, maybe an about-turn is the right thing to do? Disengage entirely, go to a different room, splash cold water on the face… break the spell.
