Autism and Panic attacks

MarkoG 8 hours ago

Hi everyone,

I am new here, I have not been diagnosed but have been told I probably most likely have autism. I am looking for advice, I have been experiencing panic attacks with no real triggers and nothing seems to help it, im usually too far into the attack to use breathing techniques and these can last for 4 hours.

Does anyone suffer similar or have any recommendations what could help

have your considered all things sensory or anxiety ? - may be worth noting when /where and perhaps finding a therapist to either help identify or perhaps look at ways to notice earlier signs or likely triggers: commuting on public transport, going somewhere new, in-person work meetings, lunch with colleages and even simply reading mgrs feedback can trigger me

Thankyou Jalapeno this is is very helpful I will start to make a note of when and where and look at sensory and anxiety. I could be having a great day then all of a sudden the attacks happen.

You're welcome. SunshineDrive mentioned AuDHD (which many of us are discovering including myself - estimates put 50-70% of Autistics as AuDHD) and one element the ADHD side can be RSD, so look at that specifically
