I really wish I could find the logic in the fact that uncertainty causes me so much stress. Wondering if any other autistics explored this for themselves? Or read about it anywhere?

When I think through those uncertain situations I can see that everything is fine on a so-called “logic” level. But that’s not what is happening within me. Instead, my mind and body are stressed until there’s at least MORE certainty.

I’m just starting to realise how much impact even very low levels of stress from uncertainty brings. It’s influencing decisions I make and may be changing my life in little ways I don’t actually want. I’m not against certainty at all, we all absolutely need it to be healthy, but these occasions of uncertainty seem to be so trivial (e.g. do I move from this room to the next room?).

What am I missing? What is it about the autistic brain that finds uncertainty so challenging? (Bearing in mind I’m AuDHD so of course there’s plenty of contradiction! 🤣)

My goal is to understand it better so I can at least make better decisions, support myself better. While it’s an enigma, I don’t feel I’m able to help myself very much at all.

Has anyone written about this? Any research on it?

I had my first full on out of the house today and it was awful.

I went to an appointment and instead of just asking for ID like I'd checked they were going to do they interviewed me and asked lots of questions about my autism.

I started crying in the interview then left and had a massive 40 minute screaming meltdown in my car in a busy car park. It was so horrible.
