Boundary blending with social cohesion

autismtwo

With Autism my boundaries are very rigid and set. I get overwhelmed when those boundaries are invaded by external stimulas,, aka people and overwhelming situations.

I find I have a meltdown on boundary change instigated by others external and get overwhelmed, maybe not by the sitution itself, but the way which the engagement I feel in pushed or forced upon me,,, they are just going to fast so to say.

Is there a way of blending boundaries(autism and the world) so that social cohesion is easier,, i.e trust, calmest and relaxed ?

How can you slow down or get used to the worlds fast moving boundary changes, or as I call it social blending without difficulty to increase my social cohesion ability ?

Any thoughts ? Smile

    That way I can familiarise with it, get more control over it, and decide how much will be upsetting and when I need to take evasive action, and when it is tolerable.

    That is my way of softening boundaries. Hopefully it might help others"
