Useful Strategies

Jon

I was thinking - people often talk about useful strategies and coping strategies. I know that I have developed strategies to best cope with Asperger's Syndrome. The problem is actually identifying these strategies. Some I can think of:

  • I wear ear defenders to reduce intrusive noise.
  • I try to plan things well to lessen the stress of a situation.
  • I try to be aware that I may not be communicating well - and tell the person.
  • I try to facilitate written communication over verbal.

Does anyone have any useful strategies that they would like to share? I know its pretty broad in scope and the strategies may be quite specific to the person but they may still be of use to others (including me Smile).

  • I find breaking my day up into zones of routine, allows me to focus better and have a sense of more control overall. It reminds me I am not stuck in a zone and fear being overwhelmed.

    Start the day in a good zone and finish the day in a good zone.. Aka morning,, walk to shop and buy breakfast and cook it at home, that grounds me(day foundation). Last thing at night, music from the radio and a good book to read, with snack in bed.(comfort). Also I find morning routine walk and breakfast stops my mind jumping into the day overthinking. The zones cuts down on the confusion or limits the confusion, it allows me to return to a state of balance quicker knowing I am going back into safe zone(s) later.
