Aspergers and the Lockdown.

AvsNutWhalley

I am feeling all kinds of things right now due to the lockdown. But perhaps the biggest thing I feel is frustrated with my Day to day life. I admit the things I did before lockdown, like go for meals spend time with family and friends I took for granted in the past. But i realise just how much i need routine  in my life since the lockdown. I try to entertain my self ny doing things that interest me like music watching DVD's and talking to my friends on the phone. But of late I have become moody and sensitive. Which I assume is to do with my AS. But I am not sure how long I can keep it together. Dose any one have any suggestions to help me.

Hi @AvsNutWhalley.
I'm glad you found your way to us. I think this lockdown is affecting everyone in unexpected ways. I know my patience is running pretty thin at the moment and I'm struggling at times to enjoy even the things I still can do.
Have you had a look at creating new routines? I know so many people have been putting temporary measures in place for a situation that has become increasingly more permanent and trying to develop a routine that becomes the 'new normal' for you might be the way to go.

Hi @AvsNutWhalley

I guess lock down would effect your AS a great deal, and I'm sorry to hear that your findings things very hard!

Hi guys thanks for the replies. Yes I have tried new routines but I get easy confused and sometimes my concentration is what it should always should be.

Hi @AvsNutWhalley Welcome to the community I think you are feeling just like many of us are at this difficult time, it sure makes you appreciate what you had before.

I am finding just sitting outside in the garden or going for a little outing on my mobility scooter helps so Im not staring at the same walls.

Also trying out new recipes and also coming on the forum reading other posts.

I hope you try and stay positive and look forward and plan what you will do when klockdown has eased

@ Janer1967. I went to the driving range with my Father. I did play very well but it was nice to stretche my legs and spend time with my Dad.

janer1967

That's great doesn't matter how you played as you say it got you out and also time with family 

Do you have any plans for the weekend ? 

AvsNutWhalley

@Janer1967. Prehaps my parents might have BBQ in the garden  as long as the weather holds out.

janer1967
