i am a 19 year old autistic person (idk what level because they don’t do levels where i live, i just got diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder sorry). whenever i drink i feel like i have been temporarily cured because im not constantly overthinking and worrying about every single social situation im in. anytime im meeting someone new i feel the need to have 1 or 2 drinks just to be able to socialise and not be blunt or “off putting”. does anyone else feel like this or is it just me? and if anyone does how do you cope with feeling this way?
