When the fixation aspect of autism kicks when things go wrong, how do you let go and move on?
When the fixation aspect of autism kicks when things go wrong, how do you let go and move on?
I really struggle with this, sometimes it’s such a small thing like a new recipe didn’t turn out as delicious as I’d hoped but it can bother me for so long. Partly I think it helps to tell someone what the thing that went wrong was, they can sometimes help me put it into a different perspective. I haven’t found a quick fix that will snap me out of it, I don’t know whether it’s better to fight it or just let yourself fixate until it burns out. Is it something specific or just in general?
