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

  • I wish they would just lift the damn things.

    Yesterday I was in a shop which operates a one way system, there were very few people about, I tried to walk  directly towards the items I needed, and a shop assistant yelled at me to keep  to the one way path.

    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! :)
