I feel a little bad for asking for help again…
So I need to do something. I have no idea what though. So these are things to consider for me:
- I prefer something regular and scheduled. My Autism needs consistency, but my ADHD makes it really hard to establish and maintain.
- I need to get out of my home. I am withering here
- some (predictable) social interaction is okay. If it is too much I probably won’t be able to keep up. I’d prefer something with a low upfront social cost (honestly the idea of being introduced to a new group feels overwhelming)
- I prefer a somewhat sensory friendly environment (for example the music in a gym would be really really stressful)
I would like to know what kinds of things you found in your lives that worked. Thanks!
If you enjoy walking, I’d suggest seeking out nature. Go for walks in the forest to arrange your thoughts. If that’s not your thing, but you like doing something creative, take lessons for playing a musical instrument. You can go to a community center or someone’s house, there’s limited human interaction and you can keep your mind busy. If that’s not your thing either, seek out what kind of activities community centers nearby offer. Stuff like art classes, maybe darts competitions, talking groups… If you own a car I might even suggest going for drives. If you don’t, get on a train, get off somewhere and explore.
cool, thanks!
