Hi everyone have recently been diagnosed with autism, throughout my life I have been told I over think to much. Whether its something as simply writing an email, or like someone or worrying about the future or meeting up with people. Or just over thinking lots of things in detail such as my interests. I was wondering if anyone had any ways to deal with over thinking?
I deal with over thinking, by writing it down. Occasionally I send what I have written BUT BE CAREFUL WITH THAT! The process of forcing yourself to write cogently about the matter can deliver clarity to my mind.
I’m autistic so I take things literally. When you say write it down is it best done with inky pen and paper, or does it matter if it is typed onto laptop or into phone?
I agree. Writing can be a very good way to organise your thoughts. I find my brain worries less when I've written something down: almost like it thinks - it's ok, I've dealt with that now.
