Holidaying with neurotypical friends

Katie
3 months ago

Morning everyone, 

I’m going on a long weekend holiday with two of my friends. We’ve been friends for years and although we are quite different, we’ve always got along well. They both know I’m autistic. But we have never spent more than a day together and I’m a bit anxious about the whole weekend and being overwhelmed. 

Is it really self centred to just prewarn them that I may just need some time in my own head towards the end of the day and for them not to take it the wrong way? I already know the lack of routine will be a bit of an issue as they are very laid back and don’t make plans Sweat smile

Anyone else been in this situation?

    My advice is to be honest with them, explain that you may need time alone to decompress and for them to not take it the wrong way. If some things need to be done a certain way then it’s just you, being you.
