The reality of lockdown for an autistic person (from my brothers perspective):
- panic attacks ALL the time
- constantly being overwhelmed from all the different news
- a sudden change to routine which has lead to so much stress
- not understanding why he can& #39;t see family

- not wanting to eat because of stress
- not being able to sleep because routine has changed
- not understanding why he can& #39;t just go for a bus ride (he loves buses)
- upset/stressed because he can& #39;t go to college
- not being able to hug me (he loves hugs)

- having sensory overloads, more people at home around him means more going on
- completely zoning out and not being able to get through to him
- being unable to come and see me at work because the completely different environment is too much

Despite all that, he& #39;s still obeying the rules (with help from my dad). So don& #39;t fucking come at me with excuses about how it& #39;s okay that some Tory twat drove over 200 miles because he& #39;s "son is autistic". I don& #39;t want to hear it.
