Motion Sickness?

(I'm not sure what forum this should go in)

Does anybody here experience motion sickness when driving or riding in a vehicle? I have heard that Autism and stomach issues are related in some ways, so I'm curious as to if there is a connection between often feeling nauseated in a car and having Autism.

I always try to ride in the front seat because it helps a little, but lately I have been getting sick on even short rides, such as to class 20 minutes from home and even to my friend's house which is less than 10 minutes away. It is worse when I am in my dad's van or my mom's SUV than when I am riding in a regular car for some reason. It is getting to the point where I need medicine every time I am in a car. I'm just wondering if anybody can relate and if there is anything I can do differently.

Sometimes I do, but sometimes everyone does, and usually for me, like for everyone, it's because I didn't eat, or ate too much.

Yes and the smaller the vehicle, the worse. Trains or planes usually don't make me sick. Cars are my worst nightmare.

My motion sickness keeps getting worse as I age. Elevators, most video games, any theme park ride makes me sick. Riding in a car isn't as bad atm.

I didnt have motion sickness as a kid but had poor hand eye coordination. Now my hand eye coordination has improved with age but my motion sickness has become a problem. Shrug.

Dont get travel sickness except seasickness but I get strong nausea/vertigo from video games.

I rarely get motion sickness. It seems like extreme hunger or being overheated will make me feel that way and the windy roads make it worse or reading. My daughter is NT and she gets motion sickness even on straight roads.

I have never had it in cars or on boats or any other time.

Not as an adult but as a kid I was always saying that my tummy felt funny when we were in the family car and especially when we went fast or over speed bumps or turned a sharp corner etc.

As a child, I do if it's a long trip.
As an adult, not very much. Empty stomach of not.
I rarely ever did. But I usually get motion sickness in a rather ridiculous reasons.

I could take a wild ride of roller coaster, or a 20+ hour ride without sleep. I could take on any vehicles, whether slow/fast, or on land/water/air.
Yet I get dizzy on someone's constant feet tapping/leg shaking if were on the same table, or specifically playing the game of mine craft.

I don't get motion sick easily, but my fear of it makes me avoid being on anything that moves as much as possible except for cars.

And it's really your ears, and the fluid inside them that control your balance, that causes motion sickness, so you should blame them, and of course your brain, for thinking that the body has ingested something poisonous when that fluid is getting sloshed around. And then your brain primitively tries rid your body of that non-existent poison the only way it really knows how. Violently.

My mother once told me she never gets motion sick even though she's been on planes and even ships. So why does she not get it when so many other people do? I guess the stuff inside her ears is like cement.
