Today during lunch I had an Autism moment that took my coworkers by surprise. I was spaced out in my own little world watching Sponge Bob Square Pants on my mobile phone when all of a sudden someone dropped an empty bottle on the table. I got caught off guard as I did not anticipate this occurrence. I involuntarily jumped and almost fell out of the chair I was sitting in. I had these reactions before so it was nothing new for me. Everyone at the table stared at me with a “what the heck was that all about?” look. They quickly got over it but it was a minute of silent awkwardness. What I did realize today is that regardless of how many interventions I’ve had episodes like this are going to occur. I can not always prepare myself for it but I can handle myself in an appropriate way.
Thank you for reading!
