is it overstimulating there? do i need headphones? (i am realy sensitive to noise) .

(just so you know, im not AS, and i am a girl. )

It's perfectly normal to be excited about Toysrus, it's brilliant. Yeah I would take your headphones, it is also really bright and there are loads of colours and things to look at. So you might want to take it slowly. They do have Nintendo consoles and games. Have fun

I'm excited about getting my hair cut, been given a shelf to put all my Doctor Who collectibles and who knows what else. Lots of seemingly under stimulating things excite me.

Perfectly normal!

But do take care about being overstimulated, have your headphones and maybe sunglasses. Those places are _designed_ to be stimulating, so they can get the kids who go in there begging their parents excitedly for every toy they see. Might also be a good idea to take precautions against spending _all_ your money! For example, just take with you a limited amount, that you've decided beforehand that you can spend.

It's not normal. Your autism.

I think you'll be fine. How old are anyway? If older than 12 maybe bottle up excitement. And if it gets too much find a private corner somewhere and let it all out. otherwise onlookers will all be like HEY what that crazy ass kid doin ova derre.
