Christmas Day shout out!

.

Well...Christmas will soon is upon us...... I have a house full of people (5/6 Christmas Eve, Christmas Day...increasing to 8/9 Boxing Day and the 27th December).

I am dreading it as it will mean several days without any personal space, or quiet time or escape from NTs doing their thing. They will enjoy their traditions and I will be ASD serving wench making sure that everyone has a good time, but inside i will be struggling to cope.

This is a shout out...as I am going to need some help to get me through without a tantrum, shutdown or meltdown.

Is there anyone else about during the Christmas break who is planning to be online ......it would help a great deal to keep me on an even keel!

thank you

  • Well, I survived Christmas eve lunch with my sister, her husband and their black cat.

    No unpleasantness at their house this year.

    Took me just over a hour to walk there.  I am still trying to find new routes between destinations to get out the ND rut of following rituals of using the same route .

    So I found a new route and I will avoid this route particular route in the future.  Very unpleasant walk through bad areas and around a very large electricity sub station, narrow streets and slippy muddy paths.  Half way through the journey I visited a pub to use the loo. Again unpleasant because it was totally empty of customers and it was obvious that i only popped in for one thing.

    Actual visit was ok.  We even discussed autism.
