To my brain,
One of your many functions is to process information from my senses. When you do this correctly, or as close to correctly as possible, it makes life run a lot more smoothly for me. However, going "OMGWTF" and refusing to make sense of input from one or more senses is somewhat less helpful, particularly in crowded environments such as the city. To navigate through such an environment, I need to be able to perceive objects, people, the spaces between such, and the movements of people. If I cannot do so, I am likely to walk into things, or to trip up stairs, which I did three times today, thanks to your refusal to correctly process visual input and to orient my body in space. On that note, is it really necessary, when I'm going up or down stairs, to make me lose all sense of where my body is every time I stop staring at my feet? I could really do without feeling so disoriented.
Preserving all my sensory functioning, but having everything come in too loud, too bright and too fast is just spiteful. Having my sensory input nearly normal, but then removing my ability to talk is also not very nice. I can, however, get around this by pointing to whatever I want, but not if you also remove my ability to move my body.
I know that after too much input you get fed up, but there is no need to interpret everything as "Ouch, that hurts" and try to make me lose consciousness. I cannot shut down at a crowded train station.
Please try to work properly.
Thank you,
- Rachel
