Nervous anticipation

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.

  • Nervous anticipation is part-and-parcel of my life.

    Anxiety kicks in roughly two hours before an event I wish to attend; or even waiting for public transport. My powerlessness over the lives of others can stem from waiting up to an hour for an event; which happens two hours after the allotted time.

  • I think I learnt to get anxious before going on public transport from my Dad who's always get in a flap, I remember having to get the bus before the one that would get us to the train station in time, in case it broke down, we'd always be hanging around  on the platform for an hour before our train was due.
