Nervous anticipation

Deleted User

In my rough decade of involvement  in autism based forums I've come across very little re 'nervous anticipation'. Mine,this will sound silly but is true, can involve waiting for the pop up sound from the toaster.

  • My opinion is that it is part for me of being jumpy at sudden noises, but made worse if you know it is coming.

    The thing I particularly find hard is waiting for a phone call at a particular time. I sit there for about 5 minutes before, rehearsing which button to hit so I don't cut it off. I now chose to make calls myself rather than use callback methods as that is more predictable. If the call is about being off work due to stress it has reached a higher level by the time they call.
