Psychosis and trouble with changes in transition

[Oz67]

I have been wondering if psychosis can be a symptom of ASD depending on the context. I am prone to psychotic episodes when I am in a completely different environment.

Is problem with transition also a form of trouble with routine? I don't mind if my routine changed in the same environment, but if I go to new environment and stay there after some time, I get very stressed

Elaborate on this a bit. Psychosis,...losing the ability to understand one's external reality?

So you feel completely out of control in a new place?

For more then less of us is the unknown, the uncertain, including places. It can be fighting to us.

I am actually more frightened of being out of control. So that overrides everything else. Do you become afraid when you are out of control?

Yes, I do.

Maybe can you try the fear of being out of control to help override the fear of new places?

I understand you are frightened. It's just that people don't understand why we are so frighten. So we kinda have to mask confidence and not being frightened.

You fake it until it becomes your truth. The more you fake being okay and not scared, it actually become easier. The only way you know is to try a little bit everyday. Try a little at a time.

Intense stress can cause psychosis. Perhaps that's it.

Change to being in different places, especially with people around talking, often creates
derealization for me.
This is a type of dissociative disorder and might fall under the psychosis term.
Everything seems surreal, sounds strange and feels unreal.
High anxiety causes it and it's the brain's way of trying to protect itself from the distress of
the situation.
But, it feels like awful and getting out of the setting to myself in quiet is the only thing that helps.
If I can get home and be in my room away from everything is even better.
The odd feeling goes away.
