Does anyone on the spectrum deal with this? I have a very hard time being without my parents. It's gotten to be more of a disability than just anxiety. I have to be with my parents, or I end up freaking out. I've tried weaning away, but it's really difficult. I really hope there's someone out there who is like me. I can't even go to other people's houses without being with my parents. Nor can I spend the night at friends houses (if I had them lol).

So, how about you? D:

I get a bit of separation anxiety when my wife is not around. I much prefer having her around.

I had bad separation anxiety when I was with my two ex girlfriends but it's better with my current girlfriend because I'm on medication for anxiety.

Very much the same for me. I'm terrified of being separated from them and getting hopelessly lost. But that does also extend to my aunt and cousin as well as my grandparents. I'm okay with school, because they know where I am and I know my dad will show up there soon if I really need him. Mostly I don't like being away from my dad for any length of time.
