Boundary blending with social cohesion

autismtwo

With Autism my boundaries are very rigid and set. I get overwhelmed when those boundaries are invaded by external stimulas,, aka people and overwhelming situations.

I find I have a meltdown on boundary change instigated by others external and get overwhelmed, maybe not by the sitution itself, but the way which the engagement I feel in pushed or forced upon me,,, they are just going to fast so to say.

Is there a way of blending boundaries(autism and the world) so that social cohesion is easier,, i.e trust, calmest and relaxed ?

How can you slow down or get used to the worlds fast moving boundary changes, or as I call it social blending without difficulty to increase my social cohesion ability ?

Any thoughts ? Smile

 

 : "o"(autism) + "o"(world) = 8(boundary bending into social cohesion) ~ equation 1. Laughing

  • A further example is automated barriers at stations. I've always tried to avoid these, but the trouble is the revenue protection officials at stations don't readily recognise people's need to use the manual gate if a disability is not obvious. So I've been trying to desensitise myself by looking at what aspects cause me concern.

    Apart from noise, converging movement is very uncomfortable, particularly movement in the periphery of my field of view. So people crossing over in front and behind cause me great discomfort and make it hard to walk in crowded places.

    With the automated barriers, I feel worst when they are busy - people moving fast, coming in and out the barriers. If the barriers are quiet I find I'm OK using them. So I can to some extent reduce my apprehension about barriers by using them when they are quiet, and appealing to the ticket staffs' better nature when it is busy to let me through the manual gate.

    Unfortunately it is taking a long time to get rail companies to meet DDA expectations.
