Okay. Yeah im thinking if i get affected in some way, like stressed out.
Sensory overload can happen in schizophrenia without autism. They call it sensory flooding. It used to pop up like once every two weeks when I was working. I would lose control of eye movements and would feel paranoid/scared.

I have a real problem with light sensitivity, taste, temperature and also sometimes sound
At home I control the entire environment to assist in reducing the stress and tipping into an overload situation

They can get sensory overload.
Maybe listen to music when you are out and about.

“Sensory overload” was the very first diagnosis given to me by an RN in a psychiatric hospital (when I couldn’t be seen by a psychiatrist because he was unavailable.)
