Nothing shorts out my autistic brain more than a last minute change of plans
I have a big day today, its the end of my course and we are having a big dedication ceremony and celebration. A lady from my course contacted me to ask if I'd like a lift there. I get nervous driving very far, so I accepted. I was relieved to have that part of the day sorted out.
She messaged late last night to say she wasn't up to driving, and could I drive her and pick up someone else she was supposed to be taking too.
She did the same thing once before. I just thought it was a one off.
It took me about an hour to get my shit together. My brain just shorts out and I can't get any sense out of it. I need to know what I'm doing as far in advance as I can. I envy people who just wing it.
She said she'd let me know if she was ok to drive this morning at some point. I booked my very expensive last minute train tickets already 😐
Like I wasn't nervous enough about today 😕
