What can I do if my cousin gets overwhelmed?

My 17 year old cousin is with me for the whole weekend. He gets overwhelmed by certain things though and I have never dealt with that. I might want to take him out for dinner or for shopping. But I might not be able to. The thought of him getting overwhelmed makes me want to sleep in the guest room with him(2 beds). I will do that.What do I do if he gets overwhelmed? I asked if he had sensory toys and he said he didnt bring any.

    ask him what you can do to help if he feels overwhelmed like what works best for him he knows himself so he might have some good ideas on how to calm himself down. just make sure he knows that when he is with you he is safe and that you always have his best interest at heart so whenever he feels that way he should be comfortable enough to tell you how he feels and u both can help solve it together. good luck
