I agree with this so much as someone with autism and tics. It’s like Christmas has such good vibes but I HATE all the flashing lights and having to socialise and mask/ suppress around everyone and having to react a certain way when opening presents to not seem ungrateful, etc

I'm autistic and refuse to spend Christmas with anyone but my daughter. I highly suspect she's autistic so before I wrap her presents she asks to see them. She struggles with surprises. I struggle with Christmas too.

I spend Christmas Day alone, by choice. I've given up on the irritations and ordeals. No need to spoil the Day for others, or vice versa 🙂🙃🙂

Heavy on the preforming while opening gifts. I could get a gift that I would’ve sold my soul to get and when I open it I do a simple awkward laugh and a “thanks”. It’s so stressful and I literally have to practice all day on Christmas Eve. :(

My little sisters eating noises make christmas almost unbearable for me. I have to wear headphones and earplugs to make it through even minutes at the table

We abandoned traditional Christmasses and started having autism friendly Christmases with our kids and things got a lot easier. No pressure, everyone eats when they want, they pick and choose what parts of Christmas dinner they have and we just heat it up,open presents at their own pace and do the activities they feel they want to do, and have breaks in their rooms whenever they want with no pressure to socialise. Both my teens are AuDHD and so are myself and my wife (we were not diagnosed til our children were).

This is so comforting to know, thank you Zara. I get really anxious too like a lot of Autistic individuals and always say to my Mum about it and then she's like why though you've got nothing to be anxious. So watching your video has been very validating that it's ok to feel this way. 🎄

I’d honestly rather just not celebrate Christmas, even tho I have people I enjoy being around. But that’s also not socially acceptable 😭🙏

So true one of the hardest things for me in my family is that we don’t really have traditions everything changes every year and even if they make plans they change them. Like right now I’m laying in bed waiting for everyone to wake up while they said they‘d get up an hour ago it’s already starting to be a difficult day for me

Just me and my children today, no visiting family, no friends over just the 3 of us and it has been the best Christmas we’ve had so far (spent in our pjs) No need to mask, no transitioning , no rushing , no over stimulating karaoke , and no drama . We opened presents, took the day slowly , watched movies , great food and most importantly spent time together!

Hi so I’m a newer person in the world of autism (I was raised heavily sheltered and am only just starting to explore my diagnosis). Has anyone else ever felt extremely frustrated with their gifts. People spent money and time on me which I greatly appreciate but it also wasn’t stuff I asked for (I put full name/brand/store on my list) as I new that I can be kinda picky. I got a few things on my list and a bunch I’d never asked for/mentioned. I feel like a circus elephant trying to perform with my face and body language and my mom saw through it and rolled her eyes and was like “oh it’s ok.” Idk am I wrong for wanting to return stuff, I probably won’t use some of it (it was similar but not exact to my list).

I feel like the expectations for Christmas to be perfect are sky high and that puts so much pressure on beforehand. The anticipation puts so much pressure on yourself that one can’t relax and actually enjoy the festivities. In German we say „gespannt wie ein Flitzebogen“ (transl. Bound tight like a shooting bow) but in a very unpleasant way
