    Autistic Struggles With Socializing

    This episode is mostly a rant about a recent event I attended with some friends which turned bad (for me) due to being Autistic, having anxiety, and struggles with socializing. If you are Autistic and struggle with the neurotypical style of socializing, fitting in with a group of people (even friends), and functioning socially when you are overstimulated and exhausted, then you might be able to relate to this story!
