[Orangeisgreat]

1: SENSORY! At work, 4 people in the room, talking, the ceiling light on, I'm dying from a headache.
2: Interoception: What is food/water? Why do I feel weird?
3: Executive Dysfunction: I have 10 tasks, lets visualize them all at once and then panic. I have to apply for a job? Nope, just panic, no fuctionality.

Finding True Friendships. Finding Ways To Make Myself Heard In A Conversation And Sensory Issues in A Big Crowd.

[alicias]

Im not even sure I'm autistic, but making friends. I am so desperate to make true friendships like other people seem to have without having to pour all of my energy into it and drain myself, and second guessing myself at each sentence.
I don't know if it is autism but I do know I'm just a teenage girl desperate for friendship ; and at the same time I want to be left alone to do what I really enjoy.

[alyaalicekiki]

1. Social situations
2. Emotional regulation not always being one or two emotion changes and meltdowns all in between happiness and calmness causing anxiety and fatigue.
3. Sensory - everything around me, sudden loud noises and changes in language tones, feeling everything I’m wearing just being overwhelmed at everything

[jecicox]

1. Difficulty connecting with people and making/keeping friends
2. Losing executive thinking when life gets overwhelming (aka dealing with more than one stressor)
3. Carrying on conversations I'm not interested in. In writing and reading, I'm great. Verbally, I struggle so hard to put my words together.

Routine issues specifically hygiene and chores, keeping a job or relationship going well, seeing new things

[Joss]

1) sudden crashes and bangs. Makes me anxious and on edge.
2) when people are deliberately unkind, rude, awkward, obstructive and mean without reason. Or they barge into you when your shopping.I find it hard not to tell them off.
3) when too many unexpected events happen in a short space of time, especially if they are important and have to be dealt with immediately. It can all become too much. 1), 2), and 3) together can cause a meltdown.

[BandiBarnGirl]

1. Technology…I don’t understand anything beyond the basics of my iPhone & Mac…there are always unwritten rules never stated in online instructions of “how to solve” the particular problem I face…bc IDK those unwritten instructions & simply follow written instructions, it doesn’t work for me very often…then I get HUGELY frustrated (which is issue #2) and have to get my hubby to help me. He always immediately knows what to do. So I feel stupid (becomes issue #3) 😫😫😫 I’d appreciate help with this!!

[AutismSpectrumWorld]

Not finding a job and love and especially if something happens I cannot control.

Anxiety, routine and sensory overload atm

[Autisticheather]

1. Being asexual
2. Making mistakes at work
3. Recovery time

[ryanrotert]

I have routine issues finding love and finding a job I have social issues that never had before covid fucked me up

[Heavilune]

My biggest issues are…


1- perseveration- I obsessively loop and have grudges it can annoy others when I’m trying to explain

2- black and white thinking, I have a hyperfixation with mlp and I tried drawing human art and I worried what if I lose interest in mlp yeaaa it sounds crazy qwq…


3- sensory issues, I’m “picky” about food like spicy food it kills me and clothes like jeans, it makes me feel as if someone is tightening me in place and dresses i feel like someone is suffocating me.

[GrannyGooseOnYouTube]

Maybe, my top 3 are
1.Sensory discomfort and trying to explain it without sounding dramatic
2. Anxiety over existentisl questions
3. Repetitive things that are self destructive like peeling all the skin off my feet.
