There are some issues with processing trauma when also autistic. Below is advice for resolving childhood trauma and how that might conflict with being autistic in non-inclusive environments: - Don't take it personally: You may think someone is judging you when providing feedback, but someone might also be judging you harshly for being different.

I wanted to share #AuDHD tips that have helped me with productivity and energy.

1) If you have something to do, and it will take less than five minutes, put other things on hold and do it now. I don’t care if you are in the middle of something else, just take a break and do it You will thank yourself later when your to-do list is not so never-ending.

2) Find systematic and efficient ways to do a little bit rather than giving into procrastination and putting it off for later. For ex., I do three similar tasks back to back to save time through day.

Autistic adults experiencing nightmares is 40% compared to 2-8% in adult population.

I have nightmares about bad social situations. Someone from work being upset with me or I am observing someone saying bad things about me. Sources: WebMD, autism.org.uk/advice-and-gui…

There is this thing that I do which may or may not bother people. Actually a couple of things.

— I don’t communicate reasons for absence or major events in life
— I don’t ask about others’ major life events
— I don’t initiate conversations very often

For example,… I might have been sick and will only communicate this to people who need to know, but not to everyone who should know. So people may think, where was she?

If it’s my birthday or other some good news I only share this with my very small inner circle. I may forget to ask of yours
