Snow and autism- do you hate snow?

Post Reply New Topic

No snow where I live. I've only ever seen snow on television.

I'm glad somebody else started a thread about hating snow - when I try to I just get abuse thrown at me. I suppose Aspies are no different to NTs there; once somebody rants about the same thing over and over they get so fed up with them.

Anyway, back to topic. Yes, the snow has ruined my week. I work every other week-end, and this week-end just gone was my week-end off, and I couldn't do anything on my week-end off because of the snow. I felt isolated and also I couldn't do my Sunday charity work, which I always look forward to. I couldn't do it because I couldn't get there, the snow done it's worst on this very day. That was a huge disappointment because I can only get to go once a fortnight (because I'm working otherwise), and I am very socially accepted there too. So that was ruined for this week.

I've been crying with disappointment all week, and I felt like running outside and kicking the snow all out of my way, but I knew that wouldn't solve anything. It'd just make me look mad. Also all the schools were shut on Friday and today. I hate the kids being off. All they do is loiter around, getting up to mischief (well, the big kids do).

I do love the rain. Yes, rain can sometimes spoil plans but you get rain all year round so everyone's just used to it. At least I can still do the things I normally do. And I live in a part of the country where we don't get many floods easily. Well, you need a LOT of rain to get damaging floods like that.

Snow aggravates my Social Phobia/Agoraphobia. I'm so afraid of slipping that I am not going out, only to go to work. Yes you can get those ice-grippers for your shoes, and yes I have got some, and I'm glad I have so that I can try them out tomorrow when I've got to mooch to work early in the morning. Not only that, I'm so afraid of having snowballs thrown at me. I am an easy target for this sort of random silly behaviour, and being humiliated by little s**ts is not my idea of fun. I have learnt that the target gets more critical looks than the bullies.

The reflected light hurts my eyes. I don't like the other drivers. Helps with the fire danger. Every thing is quiet. The stores are empty It's fun to play with the Jeep in . Makes the mountains look pretty. No bears or bugs.

I love snow.

It doesn't snow very often here but when it does I goof off work and go out and play in the car. I love driving on snow and ice, even though the car I use for it is open top and has a pathetic heater.

Love it.
Escpecially when I'm indoors and looking out of the window.

Has nothing to do with autism at all.

I love snow, as long as I don't have to shovel it.

I have some special sun glasses for it and if its too windy I have a ski mask as well lol, so I don't have issues and actually like it.

I love the snow as well and miss it!! I was born in North Dakota but now currently living in the miserable Texas heat. Rather than brace myself for winter, I brace myself for Texas summer!

I love snow.
Then again, I prefer cold weather, and dislike hot weather and bright sunshine.
However, strangely enough, I hate rain.

I think snow is one of the most visually beautiful things in the world. When the snow blankets everything, even ugly things look pretty and like a Christmas Card. It's listening to other people moan, groan and complain about it I can't stand. So very "Un-Canadian". Sometimes I'll say, "When summer comes you'll complain it's too hot". But other people don't seem to mind the heat like I do. On the other hand I don't have a car and walking around can be hard when there is a lot of snow. I wish I could enjoy it the way I did as a kid but I'm not a kid any more and hardly anything is really fun any more.

The awkward moment when I've never seen snow...

There should be a fourth option. Never been in snow.

I get a lot of snow in my area. Not as much in other areas, but I still get a lot of it. I don't really care about it.
