Hello everyone!! How are you? Todays topic is:

How to deal with your neurodivergence?

<<Sensory overload, panic attacks or any other type of crisis. How to prepare?

P.1 - Fidgets

If you don't know me, hi!! My name is Icarus, and I struggle with getting overwhelmed by too much sensory input, panic attacks and other types of crisis.

Dissociation, anxiety in general and depression are other things I experience. I hope to help some people like me with this post!

<<I am not diagnosed with autism or any other disorder that have sensory issues as a criteria (it would be very expensive to do so and wouldn't really give me all that much benefit).

Let's start!!

Prepare!

You never know when you'll have a crisis, being over stimulation, a panick attack or even something else.

My friend (Meowkittenz) made a list of things that help them prepare, and I would like to share with you all!!

Fidget toys!!

Fidget toys are important to help you regulate yourself, even if you have something other than autism, such as anxiety!Or even just a need to fidget/are very nervous/agitated

"but Icarus, fidget toys are very huge and noisy >:( I can't take them anywhere!"

Well, silly little skrunkly do I have the list to help you, because that was once my problem too!!

Here's a list of some that I like vs the ones that I don't personally like!!

I also like to bring random comfort objects or objects to fidget with, such as scrunchies, bracelets, necklaces, and even things you wouldn't think of such as dice (mine are pink and I like their pointy edges) !! To help you with visual stimulation I would recommend a little glitter jar :)

Thanks for listening and have fun y'all!! You are loved! Bye bye!!
