LIFE IS SO HARD!

Hi everyone,

I had my first full day at sixth form today and honestly It was sh*t. The lessons were ok, however, I had 2 free periods and a break and lunch which I was expected to be surrounded by people and talk to them about general stuff and honestly, I wanted to run to the nearest classroom and hide under a desk. I’m not saying that I want to die but life is just so hard and i would rather not have to live. Do you think it’s easier for people who aren’t autistic? How do I politely tell my friend that I just want to be alone?

  • "I really want to hear more about this, but would you mind excusing me for a minute?" Or "That is incredibly interesting. Can we pause this and continue maybe tomorrow? I've got a few things to take care of"

    The Rules of this escape are simple:

    1. Affirm the other individual. 

    2. Politely dismiss yourself.

    3. Provide no explanation of why. You might actually have to make a phone call or use the loo. NTs enjoy mystery.
