Amy: hey dee dee isn’t Finnie autistic?
Dee dee: yeah and I think he’s…
Chad is running around and accidentally pops a balloon.
Finnie: shit! *covers his ears*
Nate: okay just making sure
Finnie’s point of view: everything is just so loud and it’s bright outside it hurts my eyes. I never been to Teddys house before I’m getting so overstimulated right now and there’s so many people here I never met before like his family. The smell of the food is way too strong right now and my clothes are starting to bother me it feels like my brain Is on fire.
Amy: hey dee Dee I’m gonna go talk to nate real quick
Amy wheels herself over to Nate
Nate: oh hey Amy what’s up
Amy: I think finnie is about to have a meltdown…maybe you should get him to a safe space before things get more serious
Nate: he can’t be that bad *nate turns to look at finnie and he notices how Finnie is shaking and almost in tears*
Nate: oh jeez…Amy can you let Teddy know I’m taking finnie home please I left his gift on the table.
Amy let’s teddy know what’s happening and he waves goodbye to Nate
Nate: hey finnie are you feeling okay?
Nate walks with finnie as they get home Finnie runs to his room and wraps himself up in a blanket
Nate walks into Finnie’s room to see him wrapped up in a blanket
Nate: was that too much for you?
Finnie nods as he rocks back and forth to try to regulate his emotions.
Nate: I’m proud of you for going I know it’s hard for you but you did it and you lasted about an hour. Good job
Nate gets into bed with finnie but doesn’t get too close to him. Nate puts Finnie’s ear defenders on finnie to help him.
Finnie calm down little bit but he still needs to recover from the meltdown so he keeps himself wrapped up in a blanket.
Nate: I love you *give kiss on cheek*
Finnie smiles a little bit but is unable to speak at the moment. But to show he loves him back finnie snuggles up next to Nate and rests his head on his lap.
Nate: you can be so adorable some times
Finnie accidentally falls asleep on Nate because he’s so worn out from the meltdown.
Nate let’s finnie sleep on him as he just sits there drawing in his sketch book to pass the time.
