About this listen

 'I no longer try to mask my autism; I now work to support my autism'

Take charge of your needs including sensory self-care and emotional regulation for a calmer and happier life.

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.

One of the best autistic books out there. I have recently been diagnosed as autistic as an adult and I felt like everything in the book just made sense and made me feel not alone. Defiantly worth it! I have the physical copy and an audible copy.

Defiantly worth listening too!!
