Who else needs to use extra vacation days to recover from taking a vacation?
Vacations are essentially fun, planned routine change. For autistics, any kind of routine change can leave us exhausted, irritable, and anxious.
As a child, I would have an autism meltdown at the start of summer vacation because I couldn't handle the abrupt routine change of school to no s school. This happened even though I wanted the vacation.
Autistics don't only need small transition times between small daily activities. We also need transition time for any routine change. Even the weekend is a transition from the work/school week.
