Is there a book or podcast that has all this information for those of us who are later in life diagnosed? I’m so confused.

Knowledge is power. Being neurodivergent it's absolutely vital we know our needs so we can meet them

I stopped acting like I wasn’t autistic. It changed a lot for me.

Being done with the post event shutdown is so freeing and I found help 😩 I read Eat Like a Woman Protocol by Loren Green and my hormones balanced out so much. lost 22lbs, my mood lifted, and I felt present instead of drained. it addresses the root cause. feels like a reset honestly. my favourite one for sure.

This is why Covid did wonders for me in that way. It was only then that I ‘allowed’ myself to cut back on social demands, and it finally provided me the space to regulate my system long-term. It is so important we recognize and meet our required needs. Imo, we’re overstimulated and overworking ourselves at every event - we require an equal amount of integration time before adding new unusual experiences.

This is actually kind of iconic to me as an ND person who struggles to feel valid whenever I do stuff like this to prepare

It's taken me a liftime (I'm in my 50s) to learn to do nothing and not feel guilt. The 2nd lesson was that it's not 'nothing'. It's unwinding, recharging, preparation for upcoming stimulation..... It's essential downtime.

You conveyed so well the feeling of relief when I remember to stop ruminating on “why am I anxious” or “confused” or “spiraling” so I can just … work with the me I am instead of the me I thought I was. Late dx’ed strategizing like this is such JOY 🤗✊

I was diagnosed a couple of months ago (but known I'm autistic for a few years) and I really struggle to figure out what adjustments will help me and this is such a good idea

The act of unmasking is delightful and terrifying. Delightful because you finally gain power within yourself to do what you need/want WHEN you need/want to do it. The terror is when those around you do not accept your unmasking because it isn’t “proper”. As you unmask, it’s totally acceptable to schedule time for rest and solitude to regain your individuality. The more I have unmasked, the less I “bed rot” because I start seeing it as me still not doing what I want to do. It has become a radical change where now I get to do the things I want to and only feel guilt to myself for not allowing myself to enjoy. I will always feel guilt, but I have changed it from a guilt beholden to others, into an internal guilt that is only temporary because it is only me whom I feel guilt towards. Good luck friend, keep your head up and don’t be afraid to let yourself enjoy yourself, despite of guilt you may feel.
