National Risk Register news article + personal risk

I think I've taken risks in my life without realising how risky the behaviour is and have been taken advantage of emotionally, causing me harm.

I think though that when you move into the physical realm I'm not so much of a risk taker eg. I wouldn't do any risky sports - however, when I was young I self-medicated* with alcohol and drugs.

Taking those led me to some very risky behaviour indeed and I'm probably lucky to still be here.

* to deal with stress and overload.

So I see a dichotomy between being taken advantage of by others, leading to risks, primarily emotional and taking risks because of trying to cope.

I assume that both of these risks had a foundation of autism.
