I’m autistic too and have anxiety. Today I made my first ever sensory survival kit! Some of the things I added are earplugs, a snack, hand lotion and sunglasses!
I have a mini pouch of fidgets and other items to entertain me when i get bored after 45 seconds bc ADHD, three fidgets attached to my water bottle, and a tote bag in my car that serves as a calm down kit. My motto is "im the one that has to suffer through it" so idc if i have to bring a whole load of stuff with me, as long as im comfortable and my needs are met
I can totally understand about the bag. I used my old bag for years, but the zipper broke, so I had to get a new one. But it was just perfect and I have not found one yet as good as the old one. I had my next bag for three years only, then the zipper broke as well, but it was not so good as the old one anyway. The bag I have now is ok, but not as good as the old one.
Both me and my sister likely are autistic and we are so different when it comes to lip balm and lotion. I joke that I’m addicted to it cause I apply them so often and can’t stand the feeling of it not on me. My sister on the other hand couldn’t stand the feeling of lip balm or lotion until she was 13. She now will only use specific types. Even in a family autism can look so different
have you heard of air up it is pods on top of a water bottle and you can get different sented pods it is a lot eyer then carrying juce around with me all the time as I also strugel to drink water it was inen of the best perches in my life
I used to hate lip balm couldn’t stand to wear it ever since I found Burt’s Bees lip balm I gotta have it on my lips 24/7 I used to be obsessed with the original Vaseline but it became to thick for my lips

It's very helpful. I do the same thing with my own handbag, but instead of autism I have Down Syndrome along with some anxiety
Good morning. You are amazing, my anxiety is so cripplingly I can hardly talk. Glad I found your channel. Kim from Chicago 😊

Thank you for much for sharing. It helps me a lot to understand and help my adult daughter. Wishing you all the best. xx
I recently got a very similar bag (fossil ryder satchel) and it’s great! I understand why you like it
You gave me some good ideas for my 6 year old. I never thought to carry her headphones or a lanyard.
i love the lanyard idea! I'll have to try that.
This gave me so many ideas for my bag...thank you😊
I also carry lip balm with me at all times. 🕊️ Thank you for sharing.
I think I read somewhere that those fidget rings are also acupressure rings hence why they are slightly sharp/pointy.
Thank you so much!!!❤

They literally don’t work it’s just a bunch of people being paid to say it works

Obviously you like the word obviously, obviously. ❤😂
I have headphones,corded ones. Might get a cordless pair and wear them to the grocery so people wont talk to me.😊
Thank you dear for taking us along. Can't wait what the @ *LVGUCI* queen picked up at Fendi
