On the flipside, traveling alone outside of my state (or more to the point, where I don't have 'control' over my own travel) makes me freeze with terror. Going through an airport? It's a cacophony of confusion, anxiety, and fear rolled into one. Will I get to the airport on time? Will the lines cause me to miss my flight? Am I going to the correct gate? Did I need to take the tram to get to the satellite gate? What if it's late? What if my flight is late? What if we're diverted? Where do I go into <airport I've never visited> to get a rental? How will I get the rental back and where do I go? What if the rental wasn't booked correctly? How will I get to the hotel? What time do I need to leave?
I could go on... But none of those concerns pop up if I'm traveling with someone else.
"Autism is <blank>" is always going to be incorrect. Everyone is different. I always appreciate those that recognize the differences and everyone's unique experiences [with Autism].
