I surprised myself the most!

I had a new experience today! After some coaxing, I finally agreed to go to my niece’s soccer game. Normally, I avoid activities involving kids, so I honestly didn’t expect this to be a success. It was also outdoors, and I hate being hot, which made me even more hesitant.
Like with anything related to Autism, we always make sure to have a backup plan or two in case the sensory overload becomes too much. Today, our plan B was simple: go sit in the car with the windows open and scroll on my phone for a while.
Much to everyone’s surprise — including my own — I stayed for the entire game. It was actually exciting to watch, and to top it off, her team won!
Would I go again? Probably not… but then again, who knows? I’m mostly just proud of myself for trying something new.
