This Video Shows You The Sensory Overload That A Child With Autism Experiences

UK’s National Autistic Society created this powerful video and posed this question to viewers: Can you make it to the end?

The video aims to show the sensory overload a child with autism experiences when they do seemingly common activities (like going to a mall).  It really helps you better understand the challenges that some children face.

The overall message of the campaign is “TMI (Too much information) – I’m not naughty – I’m autistic.  Sometimes I get too much information.  And if you only see a naughty kid, you haven’t got enough.”
