Today is World Autism Day which is important to me because I am autistic and neurodivergent. It sucks having autism but you battle through it every single day. More on my diagnosis below...

I have decided to go public w/my diagnosis of both Autism & Asperger's. Haven't decided if I'm going to do a video or just this tweet. Appreciate @autismspeaks for helping me come out w/my diagnoses. Have had both dating back to my youth but was only recent diagnosed. MORE -->
In a nutshell each involves difficulty in communicating with others and "reading the room" (using the poker analogy) because you are unaware of your surroundings and if someone is happy to see you or if they are offended by something you say. As you might know I am a depression and suicide survivor as a teen and quite often Autism and/or Asperger's is a result for survivors. Neither has a cure and no pill can remedy it.
I never thought I would have either since I am not shy being on camera with what I do but began noticing a problem when it was hard to get some coaches to talk to me, even if I was the only media there, or even being unable to communicate with someone in a social setting when I am not working. It sucks to have it but I beat depression and suicide so might as well beat these 2 as well.
There are a lot of famous people with 1 or both including Lionel Messi, Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Gates, Woody Allen, Dan Aykroyd, Tim Burton, Anthony Hopkins, Darryl Hannah & Tony Snell among others. Even Albert Einstein had Autism.
I decided to go public because there may be some people who are battling it and are afraid to come out about it because of the stigma mental health still carries. Perhaps someone who is afraid of the stigma of a mental health diagnosis would be inspired to come out about it or at least not live in fear.
My DMs are always open to share my story if you ever need it.
Thank you for listening. Time to get to work on the 2023-24 athletic season.

@ASPIEOLFO is so cute! He always needs his rizz-mommy's help when it comes to cleaning his spergyspunk. My special aspie boy doesn't like showering (Water makes him scared) so I often just clean him up myself #aspie #aspergertips #autismtips

As someone on the autism spectrum, sensory overload can be overwhelming and exhausting. Here are some tips that have helped me manage:
๐ First, pay attention to your surroundings and identify potential triggers. Is it loud noises? Bright lights? Crowds? Once you know what to look out for, you can better prepare and plan ahead.
๐งโโ๏ธ Practice self-care techniques like deep breathing, meditation, and yoga. These can help you stay calm and centered during a sensory overload episode.
๐ง Use noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs to block out loud or distracting noises.
๐ฏ๏ธ Create a calming environment with soft lighting and soothing scents like lavender or vanilla.
๐ฑ Use technology to your advantage. Apps like Calm and Headspace offer guided meditations and relaxation exercises.
๐งธ Carry a sensory toy or fidget item with you to help redirect nervous energy and reduce anxiety.
๐ Remember, it's okay to take breaks and prioritize your needs. Taking care of yourself is important and nothing to be ashamed of.
