Being a bridesmaid when on spectrum for friend wedding

Rainbowgirl

Hi everyone 

I have been asked by a friend to be a bridesmaid for her wedding and I am really nervous about the whole thing.  I am not keen on noisy environments and looking to get loop earplugs so I can still speak to people.  My family will be there but I still find awkward around strangers and I always mask to fit in.  I am just nervous about whole thing and I have only just recovering from Christmas its just all so overwhelming and yet I want to enjoy it. 

I was wondering if anyone had any advice?

  • Maybe ask your friend to tell you exactly what she wants and also if you’re able to look at the location beforehand, which might help you to feel a bit more prepared. Loops are pretty good in my opinion, but definitely try wearing them on a few occasions beforehand so you get used to the feeling. Do you know many people there? If not you could bring a friend as your +1 for backup.
