Moved to a new shared apartment

NAS65769

Hello,

I am 30 years old and  recently diagnosed with Autism. 

It is a month I have moved to a new shared student housing which I have a private room with shared common area/ bathroom/ kitchen.

I am so anxious to go out of my room and use bathroom or kitchen. It is been terrible with noises as well but I soundproofed my door two days ago. What can I do? Some days I can locked up in my room for 13 hours and it is painful for me.

    I had headphones previously, then this week I bought a better noise cancelling headphones.which are better.

    Beside the noises I am afraid that I will see other people and they will start talking with me. I am really bad at small talk. This is preventing me from getting out of the room. All of this resulted in loosing my previous rituals and routines and that added to my problems.
