yesterday me and my husband and some friends went on a boat trip as a day out but i came over tired and felt seasick ,but i couldnt help myself went into meltdown mode
when it was time for the people to get off i sat stiffly on a chair and said i wasnt coming off even though i felt sick but i just couldnt process all the information and so didnt want to move
the captain crew couldnt get me off no matter what because they kept touching me so i shouted not to touch me
usually my husband is supportive but he felt embarrassed and got off the boat with everyone else so his friend stayed with me and told the captain crew im autistic
i came off the boat in the end but was in shutdown mode so i didnt speak in the car ride home and i went straight to bed when we got home
my husband is ok with me today and forgiven he does understand my autism but just felt embarrassed at the time i suppose
im ok now too.meltdowns is my most severe symptom and i cant help it when they come and i struggle to feel embarrassment like other people which might be a good thing
Your husband may have been embarrassed at the time, but he is a good understanding man.
Do you have a plan if that sort of thing happens again?
Will you be talking to your husband about this?
