I just finished reading this wonderful book with practical day-to-day tips for neurodiverse families called, “How to Raise Happy Neurofabulous Children” by @KatyElphinstone!

So many relatable situations and great practical advice. 💛

@actuallyautistic I'm having a hard time with demand avoidance right now. I can just about being myself to do things from my to-do lists, but I just pull a blanket over my head when it comes to social stuff, ignoring people's calls and messages. Any tips from you guys on how to get out of that hole?

@lizzard

No advice I'm afraid. When I've been in that hole I've done things like taking prescription medicine from the doctor, or self medicating, just to drag this poor body onwards in doing its everyday duties. But all of those things lead to a crash, in my experience. I think what a lot of our poor bodies need is rest... just rest... deep rest... And total self-forgiveness and compassion. I know I'm saying the impossible... so all I can do is send you love ❤️❤️❤️

Ohh and... If you happen to have any access to nature any woods, or rivers, or beaches, anything like this. With a flask of coffee or tea. I wish I could come with you.

Yes, hypervigilance and sleep aren't a great combo 😑

I wonder sometimes in other cultures where they are surrounded with other people sleeping in the room.. if that brings down the adrenaline levels in oneself. I bet there are studies ....hm

I'm really sorry I always just go off on one with my thoughts. I don't think it's much practical use to people.
