autism and alcohol

Ive been on a bit of a journey of self discovery the last few weeks. Im finally going to talk with my GP about my concerns over me being on the spectrum. my son was diagnosed last year and im positive it runs in my family now. Ive also been addressing my drinking. I saw a lady the other day who asked me what my triggers might be and i couldnt come up with any. the diary she has given me is turning out to be pointless too. Im starting to suspect my drinking is related to my (suspected) autism. It statrted about the time i stopped rocking and i think its largely to do with me not being able to transition from the hectic day to the calm evening. im a very busy person and dont really do sitting down relaxing.

Does this make sence to anyone as at my next appoinment id like to discuss these thoughts but im just abit nervous?

  • Yeah but the inebriation makes us relax toobut in turn allows us to argue our point more eh? I did it recently at a dinner with colleagues and a supplier....I didn't realise I was doing it until a colleague pointed it out to me....

    Gin makes you sin, whiskey makes you frisky, brandy makes you randy but vodka (devils drink) makes you tell the truth.....
