I keep thinking that I'm going to suddenly die for no reason. Like when I'm laying in bed, I think of my heart beating, and I think, ''what if it suddenly stops beating for no reason?'' Now hearing about Autistics having lung problems has f*****g scared me s**t and made me think worse irrational thoughts. Also I keep thinking I'm going to suddenly go into a mental seizure when out in public all of a sudden, then crack my head on something and die. I've never had a seizure and I've never fainted before, but hearing all this BS (I hope it's BS) about Autism and all this sudden physically genetic issues it has with it aswell (what I never heard of until I came on here) has made me very nervous, and very despondant of Autism.
