Returning to work today with the autistic feeling that I will be in trouble for something.

Hazel has a box.

    Does anyone else sometimes feel alien when you learn that the general public cares about all sorts and I just don’t even think about or understand why I should care about it.

    I’ve got next to no stress about the average stuff everyone else (that aren’t on the spectrum) does, Yet the little details of generally living my life etc make me really stressed/upset if it isn’t correct or going how I think it should.

      Unmet expectations, even for tiny things, are distressing for me too. Sometimes I think I should change, (e.g. I’d rather not lose my shit because someone moved my charger), other times I feel unchangeable and try to accommodate my different brain (e.g. lists! A million lists everywhere for everything!)
