(I want to preface this by saying that I don't have an official diagnosis for autism, but that my mother has it (diagnosed) and that my therapist said that she believes that I have it.)

So I was excited for a field trip, I have been for around three weeks to a month now. It's nothing big, our class was just supposed to tour the science departments of a nearby college and maybe go watch a lab.

I found out today that I couldn't go, the field trip was tomorrow.

For some reason this absolutely shattered me. I sobbed and hyperventilated for twenty minutes straight while curled up on my floor. I do not know why I did this, and I feel embarrassed by it. It feels dumb. I got upset over something so small, and even now (a hour later) I'm still teary-eyed and quick to cry.

I want to stop feeling so upset over this but I don't know how.
