Thanksgiving in USA is coming up in a few days, so we’re all prepping for the big day. For us Autistic Americans, this probably means gearing up for uncomfortable social gatherings with family you barely ever see. On top of that, some of us have more than one get together we are obligated to go to due to blended families and such.
I have to travel about 3ish hours on Thursday and Friday to see my family, then we’re seeing my wife’s family Sunday. That’s not including a big Thanksgiving party we’re having at my work tomorrow as well.
Just keep us Americans that have social anxiety or are the black sheep in mind this week. I imagine there’s a lot of masking around this season.
For those of y’all in the UK, how would you feel about having a holiday like Thanksgiving?
