What life hacks have you discovered that have helped you with your autism?

Just being myself more. Since I was diagnosed, I've gone all out with that a bit more and most people seem fine with it. Always been the "eccentric" one anyway, so why not?

Otherwise, I've found these help with various other aspects:

• Walking and pacing (stimming)
• Juggling as stress relief
• Drinking lots of tea
• Escapism (reading, films, video games)
• Creativity

The thing about creative projects is you have total control over them. No one else influences them except you, so it's fabulous as an autistic person to have that control over it.
