Autism/dyspraxia and phobias?

[AutismAndOtherTroubles]

I have autism and dyspraxia and my brain forms associations very quickly so if I have one negative or semi negative experience with something then I'm near guaranteed to develop a phobia of it. It's incredibly irritating and I appreciate it can happen in NT people too but it happens with so many things. It's incredibly frustrating. I'm terrified of slipping so I'm finding it difficult to go outside when it's wet after a bad experience with some Skechers shoes that became slippery in the rain. It was an issue for me before but that made it much worse.

Does anyone else form associations like this very quickly? I feel like my brain overreacts to everything and I'm so tired of it.

TIA

And if you do have autism do you have more than your share of phobias?

I can’t remember what it’s called but autism can create a fixed understanding of experiences high means if an autistic person has an experience of something they believe all experiences will belie that.

I have no idea if I’m explaining properly. My daughter is autistic and struggles with this, even when she can rationalise it like you.
