Agoraphobia

I have been agoraphobic since I was around 12/13 and it has gotten worse over the years, I was just curious if there’s at all a connection with asd and agoraphobia. My support have said they think the sensory side of things made it difficult for me and then caused the agoraphobia, however I’m unsure. So was just curious if anyone else had any experiences with this.

My mum embraces her differences and jusr says this is who she is, which I admire.

aidie over 5 years ago in reply to Hjp2514

ahhhh see, yes my mum is but denies it , i also have a nephew diagnosed with autism way before me
Hjp2514 over 5 years ago in reply to aidie

I think my mum might have some ways about her that seem to be on the spectrum, but not 100% sure.

I do have Netflix, I’m currently watching Pose which I highly recommend!

Hjp2514 over 5 years ago in reply to aidie

Sorry! I meant he got me into watching it, my bad.

it’s good to have people to talk to, especially when you’re not having the best of days. My sister was telling me to watch that queens gambit, might have to give it a watch.

Oh I enjoyed IT crowd and only recently watched an episode of taskmaster, the one where they had to push a watermelon up the ramp with breadsticks. Was pretty comical.

My uncle got me into the show when I was a teen, and loved it ever since. What sort of tv shows are you into?

aw no, that can’t be fun for you. Is there things you can do to try and relax now?
