Nature, camping & reflecting on my AutisticAli platforms.
While camping I decided to capture me in my element, relaxing and enjoying my surroundings. It was very peaceful and calming.
Why do I love nature/camping so much?
✅ Very relaxing.
✅ No social pressures to conform.
✅ It feels more acceptable to be avoiding messaging and social media platforms.
✅ Very calming.
✅ Isolating - in a good way. I don't feel pressured to be meeting societal expectations.
✅ It feels very cosy.
✅ It feels like a great escape from pressures of the world.
How am I finding my AutisticAli platforms?
✅ Mentally rewarding.
✅ Very exciting!
✅ A great way to vlog and capture my experiences.
❌✅ Tiring when my daily life is so hectic - but that's easily resolved by short breaks.
✅ Adve...

Просмотров 172 года назад
Autism & unfamiliar situations: focusing on the familiar I often embrace new things (mood dependent though). So, how do I do it? ✅ Take time to plan ahead, is there anything I can prepare ahead of time to help me? ✅ Focus on something that is familiar, eg my clothes or the people that I am with. ✅ Take time to acknowledge any feelings of discomfort. ✅ Allocate time to process things at my own p...

Autism & Injections: Dealing with a needle phobia Earlier this year I was diagnosed with a B12 deficiency. The treatment...? ⭐6 Jabs accross 2 weeks 😱. ⭐Then 1 jab every 3 months for the rest of my life! For someone with a huge needle phobia, this was really not great news at all. However, now I have an autism diagnosis I am better positioned to understand myself and put strategies in place. So...
Autism & Light Sensitivity

Autism & Light Sensitivity When am I most likely to be bothered by it? ❌ When I am tired. ❌ During a strong sunrise or sunset. ❌ When I am in an unfamiliar situation it can feel heightened. ❌ When the lights in a room are bright and I have minimal control.

Autism & Clothing How do I find clothing? ✅ Have preferences and a similar style I always prefer to stick to. ❌ Hate being over complimented when I try a new style. ✅ I have favourite clothes I stick to. ❌ Having favourite clothes means more stress when we need to sort out washing or I want a particular item of clothing for a specific event.

Autism & being around (young) children How do I find it? ✅ Fun! ❌ Exhausting. ✅ Simple social cues ❌ Wondering what other adults think sometimes. ✅ An excuse to be a big kid! Generally I find this okay. I always find the anticipation of being around young children is alot bigger than actually doing it. Once I'm around children I am usually okay and feel very relaxed. Even if I feel stressed I f...

How do I respond? ❌ Stay quiet and let them shout. ✅ Find a safe space (my car) to have come down time. ❌ Feel internally upset/offended. ✅ Vlog about it. This helps me understand and articulate how I...
