I am so sorry this is the situation you have to deal with. I have few friends but those that I allowed to remain my friends know the deal. My family knows the deal. They know they have to slow down if they choose to walk with me, when they start to walk too fast I just tell them I will meet you back at the front of where ever we are. lol It works every time.

They are all aware that if I have to go to a public place that is busy and may cause too much stimulation to my senses, I must take medication for my anxiety first. We had company over spring break, they had 3 children. They completely understood and expected me to disappear to my room when it became too much.

I explain the heat issues, the sensory issues, the mobility problems, and anything else like my anxiety and panic disorders. If they don't understand how it is easier to handle things at my house then I feel sorry for their close-minded ness.
