Obnoxious teens hogging pavement. WWYD?

I've just walked 20 mins to my mums house (I have ASD) which is difficult for me and sometimes I just can't do it. I'm terrified of crossing roads or being around cars and the noise just freaks me out. I get derealization because of the sensory overload.

I'm walking up a hill with a narrow pavement next to a busy main road. This narrow pavement has a bus stop, so all the local college teens congregate there, they are so busy being loud, looking at phones that they don't hear me saying excuse me. I panicked not knowing what to do and went to walk onto the road but a car was coming fast towards me so I just said excuse me and barged past. They shouted something at me like "don't touch me". WIBU?

Yes it was the OP who said maybe it's best not to go out.

What is asd?

WaxOnFeckOff · 26/09/2017 19:17

asd = autistic spectrum disorder I think.

Autistic spectrum disorder

Queen honestly don’t worry about it. I’m autistic not mentally ill but I acknowledge the challenges can be similar. It’s the autism inner pedant that makes me clarify stuff that’s all.
