Playing with toys

Little Miss Autism

I'm 27 and I still enjoy playing with toys but I get so anxious it's interfering with my playing. One of my biggest problems is that it bothers me what others think and I know a lot of people frown on adults playing with toys. My dad is one of these people and has said to me that I should be more grown up.

I have a really good imagination and can bring my games and characters to life. But because I'm worried about other people and what they will think I'm struggling to escape in to my make belief world and when I play I'm whispering constantly and it's hurting my throat.

I'm not sure what to do about this. I want to play but my brain is obsessing over it and it's causing me a lot of unwanted anxiety.

Sorry for venting here but I don't have anyone else who understands autism and why I'm not completely grown up if that makes sense.
