    Burnout...

    I'm right on the tip of a burnout and know I need to make some changes if I want to stop myself tipping into the abyss, although I don't have the energy to think, process and take action. I've noticed a lot of aspies seem to go through regular burnout - have any of you found ways to cope when...

    Fidgets/Coping Mechanisms

    Hi, When I get anxious or hyper focused, I bite my nails/inside of my mouth. Both are unsightly and biting my lip can cause cancer. I desperately want to stop.

    Brainwaves app

    I had a kind of public meltdown; in that I had some huge wave of hypoglycemia/cortisol overload and we detoured into a Chinese buffet restaurant because everywhere else was packed and I had some fruit but still felt like I was going to faint so we canceled the work-related errand and dragged me...

    I am getting a weighted blanket

    I spent two nights in a hotel room to manage my six hours of diagnostic evaluation in a place four hours drive away. (Congratulations! It's an AspieGirl :) Actually, she said I'm "borderline" officially, but I definitely have High Functioning Autism.) The neat thing is that both nights I folded...

    Overstimulation through emotions?

    So, ever since I heard about the Intense World Theory it's definitely raised questions because I feel like my emotions are way more intense than what someone else feels and with those intense emotions it's like an overload and I usually shut down and get terribly anxious and depressed and have...

    Overexcitabilities and Finding Tribe

    (Not written by me) I got a computer science degree because I thought I hated people. I thought I liked logic, technology, and solvable problems. Yet, the more I look at things, the more I am sure that the best predictor of both resilience and health is social connections and belonging. We...
