Hi all. I find I cant listen to the news, read news or watch distressing films. Is this an autism thing? I've always been like it. Anyone getting hurt distressed me greatly

  • I find this too. I like the sport and science aspects but real world events or tragedies are often distressing for me. It's hard to pick and choose which stories in the news I can cope with so I just pursue specific topics in my own time so that I avoid it. I only recently got a tv after around 2 years without one and was shocked and upset at some of the things that happen in the world so quickly stopped watching news.
