Description

'I no longer try to mask my autism; I now work to support my autism'It is a myth that autistic children grow into 'less autistic' adults.

In fact, many autistic adults feel more overwhelmed as they age as the stresses of social demands such as relationships, parenting, or the work environment increase. Niamh Garvey offers tips and tricks designed to reduce sensory and emotional stress and look after your autistic self.

From understanding what's happening when the stress response kicks in to using the 'detective habit' to spot your individual strengths and triggers.

What's more, every element of this book can be personalised to you. Featuring strategies including 'quick calm plans' for managing triggers and lived-experience advice on understanding emotional regulation, coping with sensory overload and how to look after your senses during intimacy, this guide is here to ensure that you don't just survive adulthood, you thrive in it.
