Hiya, you can call me medvedev. I'm 13y old with ASD. Recently my parents renovated bedroom where I (before renovation and my parents) and my sister sleep. I cloud say that it is my ¨comfort zone¨ since there's my computer which means I've spent most of my time there. I know that they've renovated it for us (me and my sister) to feel more comfortable but now it feels unnatural to be in it. It doesn't have same feeling attached to it. It feels kinda uncomfortable to be in it. It'll take some time for me to adjust to it... is it just me or and some of you feel resistant to changes in your ¨comfort zone¨?

Yeah I hate changes that others do. Small stuff like changes in a cabinet will grind on me when I open it. Sometimes I need change to my space but only when I'm the one doing it.
