Autistic struggle at church

So many people like me struggle with socialising and get overwhelmed with large groups.  What can be done about this?

  • Large groups can be overwhelming. What helps me is sitting near the back. Less people seem to sit at the back and I find it comforting being near the door. 

    I take a comfort item as well, a little Ty bear that I've had since I was little. She's only small but brings me a great deal of comfort and support. If you've got anything like that it might help if you take it with you.
