Recently I went out and did something new. I had spent a lot of time worrying about this activity and a lot of time trying to mentally prepare for it. It was something that I wanted to do, but I still felt anxious.
The activity didn’t go as I expected. I came home feeling disappointed and very depleted, especially given all the mental effort I had put in.
This scenario inspired me to think about some of the various reasons autistic people might feel upset after having done something.
I remember also how I used to feel so upset every time I came home from school.
