Dumb thing
Honestly I don't have an autism diagnosis so I don't know if this is autism or not but I thought it'd be relatable anyway and I just wanted to share it.
I was doing fine today until I wanted to go to sleep and I felt super restless. I was at the point of almost having a meltdown and I didn't know why. I tried to think of what it could be. So I changed my shirt cause the one I was wearing was uncomfortable. That only helped a little. After a while of trying to get comfortable I realized it was because I hadn't brushed my teeth. My brother was also being load which annoyed me even more. So then I was at the point of almost crying feeling like I needed to brush my teeth but also feeling unable to do it. After crying I finally got up and brushed my teeth and put on some headphones and suddenly the restlessness disappeared. I guess what I was trying to point out in this story is how silly it is that I need to do certain things to feel complete and not have a meltdown but I have no clue what they are. Also this was written terribly so sorry for that.
