[QUOTE="Tired Mom, post: 643705, member: 18222"] Hi Midwest Mom what you said below is exactly how I think my son sees the world: They really see the world as "too much." It is too loud, too colorful, too busy, too confusing. To me an example of that was my son really enjoys shoes. The ones he has right now are in pretty bad shape so as part of Christmas we offered to let him pick out a new pair at the mall. We went to the mall and went to two stores and I could just see that even though he really wanted new shoes it was overwhelming him and pretty quickly he was ready to leave. We went back to the hotel and I offered to let him search online. Even that seemed to overwhelm him and at that point he completely shut down and was ready to go back to the halfway house. The next day with a fresh start he was able to pick out a pair online. [/QUOTE]
