Is impatience a particular thing of autism? How do people deal with it?
Need a bit more context to give meaningful answer
I think the system lost my reply - or i pressed the wrong button - i think it’s when i’m experiencing sensory overload (since diagnosis i realise that’s the issue) - lots of jostling people in a queue, loud noise or vibration - i can’t wait to get away. i find it so distressing i’m almost bumping into people to just get out of there
Sorry I've been offline for a while, but yes this is very much a common experience. For me it's like my subconscious takes over to escape situation quickly as possible, safety and other considerations take second place depending how close to meltdown I may be.
