@milkman6969 I am not totally sure what autism means so I looked up in Wikipedia

Autism, formally called autism spectrum disorder or autism spectrum condition, is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by deficits in social communication and social interaction, and repetitive or restricted patterns of behaviors, interests, or activities, which can include hyper- and hyporeactivity to sensory input. Wikipedia

I hear a level of anxiety bordering on panic. I know when I do not eat my brain gets kind of crazy. When I eat healthy food with enough protein, then I feel calmer and more grounded. When I do not get enough sleep my anxiety goes higher.

When I am anxious, I see most things as a threat. I have floaters in the eye which is normal and I maek that into something when it is not. I can have difficulty communicating to others. When I do not get enough exercise my body is feeling ungrounded.

What I did is I tried fixing some of the problems I mentioned above and it did help. Have you considered getting some kine of professional help or join a free siupport group? 7 Cups can help me stay grounded also. I need to have a focus besides my mind. Focusing there I am not grounded.

Here are some discussions that are text based like this forum thread and may give you a feeling of successfully relating to others. https://www.7cups.com/forum/50OverCommunity_193/TeamToolsandTeamUpdates_1705/50plusDiscussionsScheduleandTopics_207920/
