Self-Care During a Crisis
Tap or click to get the Program and Interview Transcripts.
Crises for Autistic Adults comes from things like not getting hired for a job. Getting rejected by someone you were dating. Maybe you got a notice that your support services were cancelled. Your pet needs to go to the Vet. Maybe you are facing the real threat of homelessness. Autistics face more crises for various reasons, and it adds more stress on top of our challenging lives. When people around you try to minimize the impact of those crises on you it worsens our situation. Becca and I will give more advice on what you can do to take care of yourself in those moments. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/2daysautistic/support

Zephyr’s understanding of their own sensory limitation needs makes Zephyr a fantastic guest to talk about this topic. Many non-autistic people just cannot grasp that sensory overload/meltdown is a very painful and traumatic episode that wipes out our energy to a point where we must rest and become better regulated. Zephyr will share with us some suggestions, so we take care of ourselves. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/2daysautistic/support

Self-Care During Seasonal Depression
Please go to the Episode Index Page on todaysautisticmoment.com for the program script and the interview transcripts. Why should we talk about seasonal depression at the beginning of the summer and the 4th of July? Because the 4th of July can be one of the worst days for Autistics. A lot of Autistics are the opposite of the general population in that our seasonal depression is worse during the summer and better during the winter. Regardless of the season you experience the worst depression, Autistic Adults can benefit from planning some good self-care strategies. My guest Becca Lory Hector and I will share our insights about seasonal depression for Autistic Adults and what we can do for ourselves to get through our worst times of the year. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/2daysautistic/support
