I've agreed to go shopping with my husband's grandma, the thought of the entire outing is crippling me. Leaving my house? Strangers looking at me? Someone might try to talk to me? I have to make small talk? She wants to buy me things... I'm already exhausted and crying just thinking about it. I haven't even gotten ready yet... I guess I just needed to let it out.
Why would u agree to that it sounds terrible. I'm kinda scared of being around elderly people that aren't related to me because they usually are so judgemental and know nothing about asd so when you try to explain some things that you like or don't like they just dismiss it
thankfully she knows me and understands me as best she can. I know she wants to spend time together and she's lonely which I understand but ruining my weekly routine and going to a place I don't usually go are just crippling ideas. Going out into public and having to accept that she will buy something for me. It's all so much
