Hello, thanks for replying. I just feel really vague and lack understanding about how im autistic. Ive only just learned that getting stuck can be common, which i have frequently been. I havent been given much feedback from past therapy.
I keep thinking I'm not then everyday I see something.
I'd start by considering what you find hard, then think about how to make it easier. I find loud environments stressful. I wondered why I used to lip read in noisy places. There is nothing wrong with my hearing. I went out for 1 hour on Friday to someone's leaving do, and I couldn't hear people. Others said it was ok. There were too many people being loud. I used to ignore it, but now I pay attention and realised I was stressed.
I struggle to concentrate on an open office if others are talking. I find echoey room harder.
I have a quiet food pub 450 yrs old, but they dropped a plate and it achieve in my head and I could not think.
Not much I can do about some of it, but I might have to try some noise cancelling earbuds.
I find it hard to get wet. Too bad on that one.
I need to be more organised. I focus on what I like and ignore other stuff. It is not laziness, but other things.
I have to sort out my sleep.
I have reduced caffeine and alcohol.
I have reduced stress.
I am trying to be kinder to myself. I have put myself under less pressure.
I have cut down on carbs, this helps a lot.
There are YouTube vids about accomodations, just search for autistic accommodations.
I hide everything. Most people can't tell even when I'm in a state.
Depression seems to be consequence of too much stress, and poor sleep.
Exercise helps.
Withdrawal isva consequence of being overloaded, and also depression.
