I limit my social contact. There are things that sound fun that I will do but only if I can schedule it so I am alone for the days afterward. I work mornings so do things in the afternoon when I know I will have enough time the following day(s).

Sorry for the double posting. I'm not sure how to do quotes from two different posts at the same time.

But I'm against forcing people to play and interact, regardless of age. I understand people's perspective when they say that kids will have to be able to interact when outside of school (stores, etc) but making kids do that is dumb. (My opinion anyway)

I cry when there is too much on my mind, rather than having it provoked from a specific situation or problem. I think meltdowns are unique to each individual though, and something can upset someone may not upset someone else.

Given a “tentative” diagnosis as a child as I needed services at school for what was later correctly discovered to be a major anxiety disorder.

This misdiagnosis caused me significant stress, which lessened upon finding out the truth about myself from my current and past long-term therapists - that I am an anxious and highly sensitive person but do not have an autism spectrum disorder.

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.

Both of them, although I rarely get noticeable meltdowns (I don't know if they can be considered meltdowns if they aren't noticeable) I get some at school where there is too much going on and I can't handle it all and it makes me very stressed but something is keeping me back from having a meltdown.
