Hi I'm Jess
So I've been formally diagnosed for a year and 2 months, like most it was a long process and have known for a much longer time but there was a fight
I'm currently in my first year at uni and the uni put in amazing accommodations but I still feel really overwhelmed at the end of the day
Some things I have to help (not uni related) are visual schedules and a sensory corner in my room as well as trying to spend enough time alone
Does anyone have any suggestions for other self implemented accommodations I could use either ones that have been beneficial for you or your child.
I've tried googling some and they either seem to be about primary school or how to organise life (taxes) which I'm not at that stage yet
Thanks and any help would be much appreciated
To do lists help me (I sometimes make ones for each day and put really simple things on there like reply to email , do laundry etc to make sure I can tick something off). Having a hobby helps a lot! It’s tempting to just want to work but it’s good to have another strong interest to balance it with. Setting aside time to spend on special interests also helps
