Hi guys, I've just made an appointment with my GP regarding potential adult autism. I am 30 years old with 7 siblings 4 of which have autism. Ever since I was young I have struggled with socialising and making friends, I get majorly overwhelmed so I am a loner. I hate loud noises, I am a stickler for routine and time keeping and if it's not kept I freak out start crying and have a breakdown. I can only wear certain textures of clothing and have to wear things loose fit and comfy, I cannot start conversations or maintain eye contact and I cannot ring places or do anything spontainous everything must be planned. I rely heavily on others to socialise on my behalf. Whatever is going on with me is exhausting, I had a melt down the other day as the hoovers at the car cleaning place were not working so I was freaking out majorly as it pushed my schedule back by 15 minutes. I had being cuddled and i find it so difficult to communicate if there is distractions such as music in background etc i also find it hard restarting a task if interrupted mid way. I have lots of other issues but to long to list. Any advice please or things I can prepare ahead of my GP appointment. Thank you
