Changes in what you can manage

Post Reply New Topic

I have recently found that I am increasingly anxious about being out and about and spend more time not being social. I have over the years become less adventurous and find that I reach sensory overload more quickly. I know that the extent of the difficulties experienced by autistic people is not constant and am as content as I can be with how my life is. I don't think I do a very good job of explaining why I don't feel able to do things I have done before and I worry about my friends/family thinking I'm unreliable or fobbing them off.

Last night I had the choice of going to a house with lots of people I didn't know.
The other choice was a small group of musicians doing an acoustic jam at a library.

I chose the later and brought some of my harmoncas (16)
I left early as usual.

Saturday my wife and I are going
to a painting class. From what I hear it's low key.
I'm finding I can just say no thanks or give more information.

It's not like one has to go to a party every night!

I would be content if all I did was do similar things to what Dr. Laugh is doing.

The most important thing is to be reliable to your friends and family in time of need.
