I have managed to record myself in the onset of a sensory crisis, aka sensory overload induced meltdown. This video is intended to give context around sensory overload and allow other people dealing with sensory overload issues to relate and not feel alone.
Sensory overload can be terrifying experience when it happens and it is almost impossible for me to describe the feeling.
While I am in sensory crisis, I find it even difficult to speak and at times to regulate my breathing, but it is a natural process of the brain to clean out excess perception data to be able to bring the brain from an overload into manageable state.
If you have family members dealing with a sensory crisis, be assured, that while it may look disturbing from the outside, it is a natural process.
Unless they are causing physical harm to themselves or others, interrupting it or attempting to "calm them down", may be counter-productive.
