As someone who is just learning about being on the spectrum, I have always been a homebody. Sometimes it gets lonely, knowing family are out doing things. But I have begun to learn that mentally if I am unprepared or tired then I will just not enjoy myself. I enjoy being asked, or feeling included somehow, and now am beginning to feel less guilty about wanting to stay home all the time. It's just who I am and I need my time to rest and recover from work and the general bombardment of social situations the holidays put on us.
