I play either the Deus Ex UNATCO Theme Extended or the extended map theme from Mass Effect on repeat

Edit to add that after 15 or 20 minutes I’m zoned in and forget the music is playing

I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.

I have a child clearly on the spectrum as well. One thing that is helping is to teach some sort of grounding technique like taking a big breath and releasing it a few times. It gives them something to focus on that they can control. Then after the initial overwhelm of emotions subsides they can decide how to deal with the situation (asking for help, communicating their frustration, etc) without exploding. As they get older we’ll probably work on specific phrases they can use to let others know, as politely as possible, that they need a minute to get their bearings.
