No, the thing is that my autism and anxiety are pretty intertwined, but also the anxiety generally has more of a detrimental impact on my life at this point. I know what does and doesn't mesh with my autism brain, I have that pretty much figured out, but the anxiety will a) feed off the negative autism shit I do have to deal with and b) cause a bunch of negative anxiety shit that has nothing to do with my autism but also increases the likelihood of the negative autism shit hitting me super hard. The anxiety isn't going away, I've been dealing with it as long as I can remember. Sometimes I have to push through it, obviously, but other times doing something that triggers my anxiety brain is optional and I choose not to do it because I know it will fuck up the next couple hours minimum. If something else happens, it'll just keep snowballing. Even if something else doesn't happen that messes badly with my brain, I'll still end up mentally exhausted.

I obviously don't have experience with having one Brain Thing rather than two or three, but I imagine that a similar kind of snowballing or exhaustion happens with anxiety. Yes, sometimes things that trigger anxiety brain are necessary or unnecessary but worth doing, but sometimes just sitting out an optional thing is actually necessary, and even if you could do it and manage it just sucks to be mentally exhausted enough for stuff you normally can push through without thinking about it fuck you up.

I wonder how this would have played out if we weren't in modern society. How do you think your life, or the lives of any of the extremely offended overly emotional people in this thread, would go if you were in a nomadic tribe?
