Shared experiences for musical about autism. Have you felt anxious in social situations?

nathangeorge99

For the last few years I have been writing and developing a musical about my experiences of being autistic. I am at the stage of editing the current version, and I really want to know about some other people's experiences to make it as realistic and relatable as possible. Can anyone tell me any examples of times in social situations where they have been irrationally anxious that the other person may be angry with them or mocking them (even though this wasn't the case)?

Additionally, do you have any general times when relationships can be anxiety-inducing because of your autism?

It's really cool to hear that you're developing a musical about your experiences of autism @nathangeorge99  

I hope that some of our members with personal experiences of this will see and respond to your post soon!
