What do you worry about?

Post Reply New Topic

Do you mean it's common for AS people to worry about what they eat or that it's common for AS people to have foul farts? 'Cos I'm affected by both haha

I used to worry about absolutely everything as a child (as an adult I am only slightly better).

After my nan died when I was little I became obsessed with the idea of death. It was kind of like hypochondria I think. I would read about an illness in a magazine and then spend about six months convinced that I was going to get it or that I already had it, and then after a while instead of forgetting all about it I would move on to another disease...

I also had weird rituals to do with numbers. Certain numbers were "good" in terms of luck and others were bad.

I went through a phase of intensely worrying about everything I did or said and the impact it was having on other people...

I constantly worry that I will lose my job if I do the slightest thing that may upset my boss or coworkers, doesn't matter whether it's leaving early, coming in a minute late, taking time off sick...

I have a deep-seated fear of losing friends every time I express an opinion they might not like...

I'm worried about my best friend's eating habits...

I worry about time constantly, cramming in everything I want to do and not having enough time to do everything I want to...

I obsess about things being "fair" or "not fair" all the freakin' time

At the moment my biggest worry is what will happen if I get diagnosed with Asperger's, whether to tell my family, whether to tell friends and who to tell, and whether I might get carted off to the funny farm...
