Dealing Poorly with Change

Post Reply New Topic

I wouldn't make too much negative off of having a meltdown. It wasn't for no reason. That kind of change, losing so many friends can be stressfull to anyone, NT or AS. With Aspergers it just hits us at one of our weakest links, and results in things like stimming or meltdowns or tantrums.

Certain things can be modified or avoided, but others are inevitable like people moving away, or you yourself moving. Something that helps me in retrospect is realizing that had I not moved I would never have met so-and-so, etc.

That you have so many friends, says that you can make them. Making friends is as much a matter of effort as it is ability.

Thank you both for making me feel a lot better about what happened...after meltdowns I have a tendency to replay the worst bits in my head over and over again, so for a few days I was feeling that what happened that night was a lot more terrible than it really was...thank you for reassuring me that it wasn't. I appreciate the support!
