Is stress worse for us?

Post Reply New Topic

When I get stressed out, watch out because it is not a pretty picture when I'm stressed.


I yell and scream and I am pretty rude because of the stress inside me. I also get more meltdowns and when people upset me too much, I can get nasty, I throw things or hit, start cursing, and I feel I want to strangle them because that is how much they are pissing me off because they aren't doing what I want. I finally got my wedding invitations and picked out a cake so that calmed me down when we got that done and we started sending out some invitations, we sent four out today. At least that was fun. Then we ran out of stamps and I didn't have any other addresses to send them out to. I'm waiting to get the list of addresses from my parents my mother made out for me because I didn't know theirs.


I don't know what's it like for people without AS or autism and other conditions that share the same traits as AS. I heard planning weddings is stressful for everyone but everyone handles stress differently so it made me wonder if it effects us more than others?

I think it affects us the same; we simply have more sources of it in our lives.

I think day-to-day life is a stress for us, and then when you throw in "normal stress" it can be so overwhelming we melt down.

When I get stressed I disconnect and hide my feelings. Then later some time when I'm alone I let myself break.
I think living with autism can be stressful, so maybe we have more stress. Maybe some are worse at controlling it. Whether it actually is worse, impossible to tell.

I don't handle stress well at all. I especially hate chaos and feeling rushed. Other times I get angered by commotion that keeps me from being able to think.

Whether you're an NT or non-NT, I think stress differs for everybody. I can hold stress in at school, but at home I can get really angry if I want to.
