I used to walk out of a room, when people were laughing at me.

Yes, as its so difficult to communicate to others, particularly under stress, I often just walked away from these situations.

I have no idea what that means.



Yes, sometimes walking away is the only way to avoid a public meltdown and an ugly display of emotion.

When things get really bad, I tend to want to make a mad dash away from the stress & to some safe haven. Unfortunately, my job often has me on the front lines. In that case, I just have to get through it & move on. Takes me some time to recover from each event though.

Probably being charged money without you knowing.

I try to walk away from most fights.

Autism is neither a synonym for cowardice nor an excuse for unmanly behavior.

Stand up and confront the situation. Walking away from a problem is doing nothing but appeasing it.

My brother has been known to simply turn around and face the other way if people tried to talk to him when he wasn't up to it.

I'm guessing it was meant to say: Something changing without you knowing.

Walking out abruptly is seen as a serious breach of the social norms. Even if we do it to avoid melting down and yelling, or worse, it's still seen as terribly rude and a deliberate attempt to disrespect the people in the room. So it's a tough call, for me anyway, wondering if I can just hang in there and not freak out or whether I should risk walking out and having everyone think it's rude and outrageous. (Ideally, I would say something like, "I have to go the bathroom" and then walk out, but if I'm about to have a meltdown there is no way I could compose those words and say them.)

Eh, i will sometimes walk away if i think it's acceptable. Also, if i'm to the point of having a meltdown i will sometimes. I left work once without telling anyone(i did clock out though) because of a meltdown. They told me i can't do that again, so i haven't anymore.. So, in a meltdown situation where i can't leave(which is anytime i'm having a meltdown at work), i'll sometimes go into the bathroom for awhile or something for a little bit if i can, but generally i'm forced to just go crazy around other people... because it usually lasts longer than a 15-minute break.

If only walking away were always possible. Better yet, fading out like the Cheshire cat. Sometimes I stick if there is duty in it, or if there is no exit. But I doubt it is specifically Aspie - I have known too many who get going when the going gets tough.

if I'm upset about something and am asked to leave the room I find it difficult to, I fixate and unless someone engages me in something else I will just go on and on.

I'm guessing it was meant to say: Something changing without you knowing.

yes that is what the bit was post to say thanks

Kids say the darndest things...

I remember walking out of a class because one student started cussing out another student and looked like she was getting ready to fight the other student. I can't handle those kinds of atmospheres.

I think walking away from a difficult situation or simply ignoring to protect yourself is the right thing to do if you feel that you are loosing control.
