It should be socially acceptable to play possum in public, when you hit your limit. If you're curled up in the corner, because you got overstimulated, I'll bring you a blanket and a snack.

That's very much Mixmaster Morris / chillout room energy — the idea that you need to design for people hitting their limit, rather than treating it as failure or weakness.

The chillout room was radical precisely because it legitimized leaving the main floor. You're allowed to be done.
