So I just found out this morning that I have a picnic to attend tomorrow *and* I've been asked to bring a covered dish.
It would have been nice to know about this a week ago so I could have planned better.
Now I get to go to the park, in the insanely HOT HEAT, with 3 kids, one of whom will probably be sitting under a table, another will be having issues about her food, and the 3rd will be stuck to my breast, most likely.
I want to go, but the thought of so many ppl milling about, ppl trying to talk to me, and having to be "on" completely freaks me out.
Before I realized I have AS, I would go to events, be "on" for other ppl, and come home irritable, tired, and just wanting to hide. I hated it.
I am torn about wanting to go. I want to see the ppl I am friends with. But the rest of the world freaks me out.
I don't know how to get through social events anymore. I don't know how I ever did.
