That moment when your brain is pulled in too many directions and everything starts to glitch.
It's like trying to merge ten tabs into one.
You don't shut down because you're "too sensitive."
You shut down because your brain wasn't built to split like that.
When the world demands your attention in too many places at once, e.g. talking while you're thinking, switching tasks without warning, processing words, emotions, and eye contact, you hit a split.
This is not a failure. It's a mismatch. The world asks autistic people to multitask constantly.
But our brain is asking for focus, space, and time.
It's not wrong. It's just different.
Words are coming in, but none are landing e.g. stuttering, can't find words even though you feel them in your brain
You can't speak even though your brain is full of thoughts
You freeze, fumble, or want to escape
Everything slows down or explodes
Brain fog (I personally see and hear TV static)
