Safety outside

One of the reasons I struggle to go out along with the physical issues and my brain bro functioning to get me through a journey is  going out gives me lack of safety. I am not aware as quickly what is going on around me and where I am going specifically at times. my only way to get through the journey is going on my own world. I sort of go into it. I lose track of where I am supposed to go and it makes me susceptible to people who notice that I have ‘my head in the clouds’ so I’m told and I worry about my safety. What are your thoughts, everyone? Today is not a great day for me x

  • you are autistic right ?

    lets assume you are Slight smile

    you clearly process things slowly and are noticed by faster people around you. Were a baseball hat with a peak at front and keep your head down as you walk but always look out for trouble and avoid it.

    if u do go out stick to well known routes 

    learn ow to read and use maps (paper ones) and carry a small map of your area at all the times. ave your home marked on it so u can point to it if anyone needs to know or if u need help.

    gradually expand where u go and expand you printed map to match

    text people u know  to say were u are going if u can,,,, so they can keep an eye on u
