AMERICA POV
I mumble to myself, rocking. I don't want to. I don't want to. I don't want to get off the plane. I'm too scared of going through the baggage claim. It's always crowded! I have to stand for over an hour! I don't like this place! It isn't home! I want big brother Mattie! Where's Mattie?! It's too scary without big brother!

An attendant comes over, her face looking stressed. •Or tired? I suppose she probably hasn't had much sleep. Poor lady. "Sir, we need you to exit the plane."

I shriek, panic causing my eyes to tear up and my body to go into adrenaline.2) "No! I'm w-waiting for my buh-brother! I don't know where he is! His name's Muh-Matthew Williams!"

Mattie runs up and sees how upset I am. He puts a hat on my head, along with fuzzy headphones and soft gloves. I burst into tears, sobbing like a little kid as I rock back and forth in my seat.

"We're in the right place, Alfie. Ill be with you the whole time. It's ok, Al.You got your snacks?" I nod, sniffling as I start to calm down. I can answer that. Simple.

"Plushies?" I nod furiously. He chuckles as I check my pockets for the third time. "You went potty?" I giggle and nod. We call it that fo itr short in public because its quicker to say than 'bathroom' and it sounds funny.

I finally stand up, wiping my eyes as he clips the end of my coat sleeve to his so we don't get separated. Mattie made sure of that. I also have a big fuzzy scarf that Ivan gave me that clips to my coat so I don't lose it. I smile when I see other people struggling with carrying luggage. We're carrying our duffels on our backs with no trouble. We get off the plane, and I smile a little, feeling stupid for getting so upset.

Ok, time for me to fess up. XD. I was told I had autism in 4th grade. I'm told I have it fairly lightly, so it's funny when people are so surprised when I tell them. My brother has autism, too, much more severe than me. He is nonverbal and can't communicate by talking, but he is such a wonderful and protective big brother. Seriously. He is very protective. XD
People who have autism suffer a lot. Situations that don't bother NTs (neurotypicals, which means people who don't have autism), can be agonizing to us. For example, crowded, enclosed places are horrible for me; I have an issue with being touched, so when people shove me or bump into me multiple times, I get upset and I'll want to be by myself afterwards. I also have an issue with alarms. They scare me a lot if I don't know what they're for. I also can't really handle flashing lights, like what they have at dances. They don't upset me or give me seizures; they just make me confused and dizzy. So yeah, sadly, due to my sensory stuff, my first dance wasn't as fun as I'd hoped.
XD 😸😸😸😸😽 So yesh! XD There's that! I don't know how to end this....XD
