Autism Life Bag - What's in yours?

Deleted User

I had a thought since I like to carry a bag when I'm out. My main bag is for work so it's fits my Samsung tablet (like an iPad) in it and work clothes because I cycle to work, but anyway there are other items in there that I find useful for autistic emergencies. Here's my list...

  • Fidget spinner & clicker
  • Compact umbrella
  • Phone charger & battery pack
  • Earbuds & Loop earplugs
  • Tape measure
  • 3 pens
  • Hat (I don't like the wind)
  • My business cards
  • Bottle of water
  • Plasters & Ibuprofen
  • Small purse with cash
  • Deodorant
  • Tampons (partner emergency)
  • Sweat headband (sometimes I run)

What would be in yours?

  • Fantastic post. Whew, where to start? Well, I have two bags, one for work and one for emergencies (my go bag), plus a lanyard that I wear around my neck with all my keys and cards. I'm a book bag kinda girlie, since my job and classes allow for that kind of luxury.

    My normal bag has:

    • computer and assorted chargers
    • my beloved grade-school-esque pencil case with all sorts of fidgets, pens, paper clips, pencil sharpeners
    • left pouch: umbrella for surprise showers. right pouch: accessibility friendly water bottle
    • noise-cancelling headphones
    • tampons and pads
    • wallet/phone/cards (all-in-one)
    • compression vest

    lanyard: loops earplugs, keys, keycard, travel pill container

    Emergency bag:

    • earplugs
    • sunglasses
    • rimmed ball cap
    • gum/hard candies (for calming down)
    • electrolyte powder (to supercharge hydration)
    • almonds or trail mix
    • gloves (for sensory issues)
    • assortment of chews and fidgets
    • emergency meds
    • broken headphones I got for free, but still help block out sound

    It's an ever-changing list.
