guess who’s part of the autism fam now and finally is getting help building a toolkit of self soothing and emotional and sensory regulation strategies that will actually work for her 🥲🥲🥲

me tooo, the few she gave me are  working so so much better than anything I’ve tried before already 🥹

do you mind sharing these strategies if you are comfortable?

and one i haven't tried yet for this specific purpose but that i'm really excited to try is group vocalization and movement, i.e. sound baths, yoga, tai chi, breath work circles, choirs

she said it's because women with autism have a higher likelihood to overintellectualize their emotions and logic out of them instead of process them, so scheduling in opportunities for somatic connection can help with the overintellectualization. singing and movement help :)
