Many people with Aspergers have quite severe anxiety when it comes to not knowing things that are happening to them. Some people see this as controlling behavior, but not having a solid plan can cause some huge anxiety issues for autistic people.
Autistic people need to have a solid plan in order to handle large overwhelming things. When there is not enough information about what is going on around them, many NT people see the need to know information as controlling – when in fact its a need to develop a plan to cope with the large amount of things around them. Autistic people like solid plans, and routine its just the way were wired.
What are some ways autistic people can help NT people understand its not a controlling behavior, but a need to develop a plan?
