Here we can discuss how to look after ourselves as autistic adults and support each other. You can also share things that make your life easier!

I'll go first.
And it's quite simple but profoundly imperative.
You must must must must must be selfish when it comes to your own wellbeing!
Nobody will look after you. Only you will.
If you don't look after yourself, you can't look after anything or anyone else.
Do what you need to do. And don't do what you don't need to do to improve and maintain your own wellbeing.
Whatever it may be.

Whatever it may be. Hi Drew Doug Thanks for starting this discussion! You raise some very important points, it's not selfish it is self care. What kind of things do you include in your routine that are calming/part of your self care? Sorry for the confusion about threads vs boards, in future you may want create a discussion in a specific board (for example the autistic self care board).  |
