I’ve always wanted to go to burning man because I love music, art & festivals, but I’m concerned about sensory overload because I’m autistic and sober.

I have an amazing opportunity to go to burning man with a conclave as a fire performer, and I really want to go but I’m anxious and have a lot of questions.

Does anyone have any autistic experiences to share or know anyone autistic who has gone?

Are there quiet and safe spaces available if I get overwhelmed?

Are there other sober people there or is there any sort of sober camp/community?

Is there anything I should know before making my decision?

Edit: I’m not worried about my ability to stay sober, I called it out because I can’t numb my senses with substances. Also it would be nice to connect with other sober people if everyone else is tripping.

Edit 2: You all are amazing, thank you for the information and tips! I have decided that based on the support I received here I’ll be just fine, but I plan on going in a camper van for a safe space and extra protection from the sound & weather. You have got me pumped, see you all in the dust!
