Travel sickness and autism

I seem to suffer from travel sickness quite badly, being in the car for 15 minutes is enough to make me feel queasy. Also feel the same way on buses and trains.

The issue can be dealt with if I take a kwells tablet an hour before leaving. But the tablet makes me incredibly thirsty and dries my mouth out. So have to take several water bottles on the trip. Along with my things to help me cope with stress. Stuffed animal, ear plugs, fidget toys ect. Find traffic jams very difficult to deal with cause of not knowing how long we will be stuck in them.

I don’t like going out in the car often cause I always associate it with pain and discomfort. It’s not my fault wish I no longer had this problem and could go on car trips with ease.

Is this part of my Autism, it is a common trait or do I have another issue?

It could be because I’m not used to being in a vehicle.

Anybody else have anything similar?
