Prepare before you goPractical supports
This is general information and not medical advice. If you're concerned about safety or health, check with your clinician.
Before you leave the house
- 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.
Pack your sensory kit (small but mighty)
- 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).
Your reset protocol
- 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.

Lighting can be mixed. Bring hat or sunnies just in case.
First 10 minutes: do a quick lap, pick a “home base”, and keep demands low (orientation beats achievement).

I cannot recommend this venue enough! Mascia is so amazing, the details are unmatched! Had my baby shower here and it was perfection! Attention to details and love and care in every event cant be beaten!
What an amazing place! Innovative, interesting and great fun. Love that places like this are springing up to create community connections. Highly recommended for your next party or event.
Had a great time celebrating mates 50th at The Little Party House. The space is visually stunning and the event was amazing. So much choice for authentic Italian theme and colour. I rate the lemoncello spritz. A super fun afternoon.
