I never go on holiday and it gets me depressed

MarzyMas98

Hi I'm in my 40's and I am autistic and I never go on holiday. I have no family to go with and I really get jealous when everyone I know says they've been here , there and everywhere  and I just feel whys it never my chance to go away. I can't travel alone as I have learning disabilities and can't follow directions and have no common sense whatever that is and I would love to go to Devon or Northumberland or Scotland. But I have nobody who would want to take me and I live very far from these places and I can't travel alone.

I feel so jealous when people can go on multiple holidays in a year, I haven't been anywhere, I feel like I'm the only one who never goes away.

  • Hi I am also on the spectrum but I am pleased to say I have been over to the states and worked in 2 different summer camps which was absolutely amazing. After wards I traveled the 1st year I traveled alone went to Miami Disney world in Orlando Florida and New York. Last year I travelled with two other girls I met at camp they also were on the spectrum it was nice to have the company. I never thought in my whole life i would be able to catch a plane and travel abroad on my own and we talking America here long flight there and back but I did it and I’m so proud of my achievements. If I can do it I’m sure you can as well plus I’m sure there are loads of autistic friendly groups around that could help you. If your interested I have a cool app called hostel world that will help you find cheap hostels and you also meet other solo travellers as well.
