Autism Social Anxiety SUCKS! (Here’s Why)

Autism Social Anxiety SUCKS! (Here’s Why)

I was working on my autism course, and YouTube surprised me with an invite to a VIP Labour Party conference. Social events make me anxious, so my friend Ian joined me for support. En route, we faced traffic, intensifying my anxiety about being late. Upon arrival, I realized the coordinates led us to the venue, not parking, causing more stress. A call to a local friend saved the day. Finding parking always makes me anxious, but Google and friends helped. Inside, I needed to take my medication, and the crowded, noisy room overwhelmed me. The line for water was long, leaving me worried about my meds. Thankfully, my YouTube partner manager, Stella, came to the rescue with water. My main goal was to discuss autism and mental health with Alice Lomax, the MD of YouTube UK. To my surprise, it was easy, as she had been following my channel. Relief washed over me as I had taken my medication, arrived on time, and fulfilled my invitation's purpose. I even managed to get a selfie with Ed Milliband and meet some medical YouTubers and innovative business owners ( / keysieco . As the crowd dwindled, Ian and I seized the chance to leave. Heading home, I felt a sense of accomplishment, having conquered my social anxiety to attend the event, which was a significant achievement after the lockdown.
