I had a meltdown at Wal-Mart and several strangers reacted badly! They thought to "Grab" me. This is the WRONG reaction for me!
Why grabbing is wrong:
To "Grab" me is to add more sensory input when I am overloaded with sensory input. Dont TOUCH me.
Grabbing is WRONG!
My curiosity wants to know why "grab her" was the cashier's instruction to my carer?
My friend (carer) had to physically get in the way of people's hands reaching out towards me, so they would not touch me.
