Does anyone know of any good book they could recommend ,
A clinical psychologist once tried cognitive therapy on me about 35 years ago but im not sure if it did me any good
he never diagnosed me as being autistic anyway, I was just treated for depression at the time.
About 35 years ago i read all kinds of self help books but it wasn't specialized for Autism.
I read "The road less travelled" "How to stop worrying and start living" I must of read over 20 self help books with little improvement.
I recommend:
Self-Care for Autistic People: 100+ Ways to Recharge, De-Stress, and Unmask!
Hardcover - 25 April 2024 - by Dr. Megan Anna Neff
"Self-Care for Autistic People can help you engage in some neurodivergent self-care—without pretending to be neurotypical. You’ll find more than 100 activities that help you accept yourself, destigmatize autism, find your community, and take care of your physical and mental health."
Thanks for the Recommendation I've ordered the book, I'm willing to try to find some tips to cope with stressful situations. I have learn't a few tips already off the site. I took my two cats to the Vet yesterday for their Annual checkup, Usually it stresses me out with them because they meow constantly when they are in their cat carrier I usually find it a stressful ordeal every year especially when they are in the car on the way. I bought some ear defenders and wore them all the way to the vets. I would never of thought of doing that before I joined this site but it helped me alot.
