In my upcoming seminar in London, we’ll explore what these states really mean - not as pathology, but as communication.

Autism isn’t *just* about challenges
We have strengths too but these are rarely recognised, which can lead to:
- low self-esteem
- shame
- stigma
- having less direction in life
Lampinen et al explore autistic strengths in a new paper 😊
Do you relate to any of these? 👇

It’s not exhaustion that a nap can fix.
It’s collapse - years of unmet needs crashing into us all at once.
Recovery from burnout isn’t about going back to who we were.

Now it’s Tylenol.
Everyone yells “no!” then adds “this tragedy isn’t caused by X”.
Stop. Autism isn’t a tragedy.

Proprioception differences in autism may be why…
- you easily bump into things
- fine motor skills are hard e.g. doing buttons
- you enjoy pushing, pulling or squeezing things
- you love deep pressure like weighted blankets
It's a neurobiological difference in how the nervous system perceives, processes, and regulates the world — both outside and inside.
It’s not something to fix.

You don’t need to justify why your bodymind needs downtime.
Rest is not laziness - it’s survival.
