Quick visit wins
- ✨ Micro-breaks beat big rescues. 2 minutes outside / toilet / quiet corner can reset the whole visit.
- 🚪 Build a “leave without drama” exit: park close if possible, keep shoes/jacket easy, and use the agreed “done” signal.
- 💡 Bring hat or sunnies anyway. Fluorescent glare can sneak up on you.

Set the visit up for a win
- Preview the plan in one minute: where you're going, what you'll do first, and how you'll leave.
- Use a tiny visual plan (3 steps). Example: “arrive → do one thing → snack + go”.
- Agree on a “done” signal (card/hand sign/word) so leaving isn't a debate mid-overload.
Your calm-down kit
- Noise: headphones/ear defenders + a comfort sound or playlist.
- Light: hat/sunnies/tinted lenses + a “face away from lights” seat plan.
- Body: chewy/fidget + something heavy-worky (stretch band / push-the-wall game).
- Fuel: safe snack + water (hangry looks like overload).
Meltdown / shutdown plan (safety-first)
- Lower demands fast: fewer words, fewer questions, slower pace.
- Move to your “exit spot” (outside / car / quiet corner). Safety beats finishing the activity.
- Co-regulate: calm voice + simple choices (“outside or bathroom?”).
- After: recovery time counts. No post-mortem in the moment. Debrief later if needed.

First 10 minutes: do a quick lap, pick a “home base”, and keep demands low (orientation beats achievement).
Accessibility: Google lists a wheelchair-accessible entrance here. It is still worth checking toilets and paths once you arrive.
