King of Isolation
I have to be honest here, I'm no fan of medication at all. I was force-fed a ton of it as a child all the way through my teenage years, so I've tried my hardest as an adult to avoid it altogether.
As I've aged I've noticed my autism triggers have gotten worse, too bright of lights or even the smallest number of people in a room now can cause me to have sensory overload or in worst cases even meltdowns.
So, I was recently given a muscle relaxer and one to supposedly "calm my thoughts." I'm not sure what effects these will have honestly. As if a muscle relaxer is going to solve my problems, especially if most of them are visual related.
I was also advised to stay out of public areas that I know would cause overload, but where I live that's almost not an option at all. Most of the places are crowded all the time and I have no choice but to power through them as best I can.
I hope I didn't make a mistake with this, but I'm sure as time goes on we'll find out.
