Hello everyone. I would like to ask if anyone else is bothered by people turning up unannounced? It is just one of my pet peeves. I know logically that other people don't have a problem with it, but it just really annoys me when people don't phone before saying they are going to come over, they always seem to arrive close to a meal time (I don't like eating in front of other people), so I have to put off my meal, and they seem to stay for hours, irrespective of whether I or my family may have something they want to do.
I find it incredibly difficult to deal with situations like this, and it causes me a great deal of stress, but I am sure I just come across as rude to some people when I don't particularly want to interrupt with them when they have arrived without telling me or my parents that they were going to come.
I know people on the spectrum can be difficult for people who are not on the spectrum to deal with, but I wish people would take my needs into consideration, sometimes.
