Hello Everyone !
I will soon be travelling by plane for the first time on my own. I wondered whether anyone had any experience or advice to give?
I'm extremely nervous and have been having nightmares about it for weeks. It's mostly the airport environment and process (and the fear of getting lost) that is stressing me out most. Also the waiting around will make my anxiety build and where I am at most risk of shutdowns and meltdowns.
I have contacted both airports I will be travelling from/to, but I am still waiting for their response. I am looking into booking assisted support and I will wear my sunflower lanyard.
Are airports supportive and understanding towards autistic adults?
What things help you remain calm and comfortable?
I plan on taking a copy of my diagnosis letter as I worry the staff will question me because I mask well.
I would be very grateful for any advice . Thank you!
