First flying with Autism

over 4 years ago

I'm due to fly for the first time in a few days but Have already seen a lack of appetitie as my anxiety is on one with all this stress.

I'm wondering how everyone has coped with Anxiety and how you have found your first flight.

Is there any tips for first time flyers which I haven't covered yet.

I have done the following
Airport Familation Visit
Destination Research
Packing early
Sorting out music
Preparing Lavendar Oil resucue

But i'm still struggling with stress of this pre flight stage and I'm getting the autism stress pains which is not good

    I get nervous flying, but still love it at the same time. I must have had hundreds of flights now and still get nervous, but again, I also love it. Try to focus on how amazing it is. Look out of the window above the clouds, a view that people have only been able to appreciate for the past century or so, and how planes are a fantastic piece of engineering. And don't worry about safety. They are safer than any other form of transport. For me the feeling of flying through the sky makes the nerves worth it. Try to see it as a fantastic experience. I know that will be hard, but try to keep that in the back of your mind.
