Some small part of language, verbal or otherwise, is understood innately. I can understand punching intrinsically, and only afterwards imagine what it means. Also hugs if I'm in the right mood.

I can't imagine seeing so much I am overwhelmed. I already stop absorbing what I see when I am full of details. I've been blinded temporarily when I messed up welding safety, but that just looked like... my entire vision was the color of after-images, and I could barely tell daylight from indoors.

If you're literally looking to interview someone who knows what visual stimulus overload is, perhaps reach out to the autism community.
