yes, sensory overload is something we deal with.

Here's a piece of writing upon this subject: Asperger's Syndrome and Sensory Overload

many thanks for this. While I read through the article, I remember and smiled because when we visited the medical museum, and there was an experimental toy for each sensory item. AS refused to put his hands on ANY of the 'sensation' toys and he insisted me to try it first then he would do it afterward. Time consumated that day but it was worth for him to learn something new and tried it with a lot of encouragement and fun too.
