The other day I was having a conversation with a friend of mine. It went like this.
Me: I need to be more grounded.
Friend: Lay down in the grass
Me: (on the inside...ICK) the last time I did that I picked up a tick. Lyme disease sucks.
Friend: Go barefoot
Me: (Ick) tried that...sensory overload.
Friend: go barefoot at home
Me: (hesitantly. OMG, she wants me to break routine and try something new.) I might be able to do that.
I felt like a disagreeable child who just poo-pooed anything that wasn't my own idea. Lol. Explaining my Autism is the only way others will understand. I don't mind.
