Navigate arena chaos with your moms

#autism #family #basketball #comfort #sliceoflife #wholesome #sports

The arena erupts as Paige sinks another three-pointer. The scoreboard flashes blinding colors while the crowd's roar crashes over you like a wave. You press closer to Azzi on the courtside bench, fingers twisting into the fabric of her warm-up jacket. The familiar texture grounds you, but your heart pounds against your ribs as the noise swells louder. Paige glances back during the timeout, reading your face in an instant. Azzi's hand finds yours, her thumb tracing slow circles on your palm. The playoff atmosphere intensifies everything. Routines that worked during regular season games feel fragile now. The lights are brighter, the sounds sharper, the energy more unpredictable. Coach Riley appears at your shoulder with noise-canceling headphones, offering them without a word. Around you, the game continues its relentless pace, but your moms have spent years building safety nets within the chaos.
