Scared about lockdown restrictions being lifted

NAS73354

Hi, I'm Chris and I'm new here.

I feel scared about the lifting of lockdown restrictions. I'm on the spectrum, I'm 53. With lockdown restrictions, I didn't have to deal with the outside world too much. But as lockdown restrictions are being eased, the impatience of everyone else is very scary. Are there any fellow autistics who feel the same as me. 

I am married with no children. I live in Bermondsey.

Thanks

    Sometimes I must admit I'm too overwhelmed or stressed to notice all the one way signs and so on, so I agree with you here. It's an extra thing to navigate when things were already too much.

    When I'm calmer and there are fewer people, etc. etc, I strangely love the directions... the sense of following a process, abiding by rules. I may be an odd one out here! :)

    This annoys me too. I understand the need for a one way system when it is busy but if there is nobody around then the one way system becomes obsolete. At the same time though I've been known to rigidly follow the one way systems and be annoyed if others aren't following them so I'm pretty flexible with this particular system when it suits me, and it obviously may not suit everyone else!!!
