I’m not who you asked, but I would set limits on my time in participating and bring the tools I need to help manage the sensory load.
Yes I’ll come with you, but I won’t stay. My partner might have to learn to be okay on their own for the rest of the night or with leaving early with me sometimes. I will bring my loop switch adjustable earplugs and my FL-41 glasses to tone down the sensory inputs so that I have more processing available for social exchanges.
I won’t nag or complain… I will just be aware of when I’m at my limit and then responsibly facilitate my own exit when it’s time.
