Hello! My friend, i have returned back to the forums - and am happy to see this thread.. I have many ways to cope..but it's most ways to keep me from getting overstimulated, emotionally exhausted, or other things. Here are some good ways to cope! In my opinion, my good dandy pal! 1. Take the time to wind down, do something to relax the senses, as if you become overstimulated by community (such as people), sound, visuals...Do something of your choice that usually winds you down. Whether that be, writing, drawing, gaming, watching TV, listening to music of your choice, or my favourite - SLEEPING! In my opinion, rest and sleep is the best way to wind down, and to de-stimulate yourself. 2. Do some self-care. With Autism, your mind functions differently, and we all have our own ways of self-care...whether that be showering, brushing our teeth, brushing or combing our hair, whatever! Do something that makes you feel relaxed and good! 3. Occupy Your Mind. Do something to distract yourself from dissociation...I know with my form of autism, I struggle with dissociation, and I struggle with the 'stare' and it's quite embarrassing in public. So this is a good time to put some hobbies to use! Buy some cheap fidget toys online, or at a store, and fidget around - if needed, if you're alone in your bedroom or home, listen to a song and make up fake scenarios in your head! Do something fun, reliable, and safe to keep your mind occupied. 4. Talk to someone you trust. Whether it be a friend online, family member, even a pet - or stuffed animal...just talk! Get your mind and thoughts out! It's quite important to not build up everything inside...HELL - You can even talk to your pillow! If you don't feel like having any human interaction! 5. Lastly, Take care of yourself - other than self-care, it's important to take care of yourself. @Otaku Gamer...I understand your situation, but hey, make yourself something small - a meal even, or drink some water, juice, soda, whatever! Do something to make your senses feel good...other than just pondering on what to do! Here are some friendly reminders my friend... Life might not always go your way, but, you always have tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year! And being calm and steady is key...if these coping skills helped, please lmk!

High of 60 degrees, rainy, gloomy, gross. A Humidity of 89% and winds of 11 mph... On the forecast, it says that today will be (likely) our last day in the 60's before it drops back down to the 40's and 30's.

368 The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20-meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

Started playing "Tokyo Afterschool: Summoners" It's a online visual novel, that is on mobile, but I played it on my friends phone - lol, it's awesome! I love it so much. Also been playing "Osu" and "CS:GO" which have been awesome games to play on the computer.
