How anyone has constructively overcome their difficulties, due to autism or otherwise.

Nothing negatively personal, nothing attacking, no self indulgence please. Just what can help others. Thread can be locked if going wrong direction. Alice’s bequest.

  • I'm deliberately not watching/reading ANY news since we came back from holiday in February - it's so much less stressful.   I hear things now & then - Notre Dame etc - but I don't want the details as it will upset me.

    The rest of the 'news' is really only publicity pieces selling/advertising/hyping things so I'm better off without it - much lower stress.

    My only worry is failing a memory test in future if they ask me who the Home Secretary is.
