Help Autism

[Kaczka86]

To autistic folks out here - how do you deal with that? How do you manage getting overstimulated on a daily basis? Feeling constantly exhausted. I'm also asking about living as autistic person in general. How?

I guess if you are on this forum then it's not that easy, which is fine, but what are your ways to cope? What do you do or where do you shift your attention to while feeling like everything is too much?

I guess those questions will apply to anyone here and feel free to share your thoughts, but as someone who is on the spectrum I'd love to hear how people like me handle things.

Thanks!

it doesnt cause problems to me. i just don't leave home and don't do job or school. ppl ignore me and never initiate conversations out of sudden so idk what's this overstimulation thing. also autism in area i live is a nonexistent illness, no one knows or care about except for city slickers

For people unfamiliar with Aspergers (now ASD) there is a helpful free pdf booklet;

In general, one learns to cope over time. it can be helpful to have more information earlier. Also, parents who know where encouragement can help or where not pushing can help is an advantage,
