How did you manage to watch Hamilton?

[Mom asked: How did you manage to watch Hamilton for one hour in London at the theatre, which was not a show for people with special needs?]

I prepared myself by putting the headphone over my ears when I was watching Hamilton in London. Inability to regulate myself is very frustrating to me. It drives me mad. I am capable of controlling myself. I want to improve my ability to self regulate. 

I also remind myself to breath and to stay calm. I did this before, during and after the show. I also closed my eyes from time to time to give myself visual breaks. It helped me to relax. 

I think it’s critical to have you sit next to me to help me stay calm. I couldn’t do this without your presence.
