I dont consider myself an alcoholic but I was wondering is anyone else found a connection between autism and alcoholism?
I find it easy to slip into unhealthy habits because getting drunk becomes a routine. Plus I'm guilty of getting obsessed with being "normal" so in my pursuit of this I find myself drinking every day because I guess alcohol culture normalizes drinking every day. and also, I find that social interactions and stuff that would overstimulate me become easier when I'm a little drunk
Is this normal? Are there studies behind it? Or am I just weird lol
I have very clear addiction tendencies. I hadn't considered the routine aspect though, that definitely makes sense in my case.
Alcohol definitely isn't my drug of choice though. There isn't a shittier substance for next day poor mental health in my experience.
