Two Autistic adults talk about the sense of despair and overwhelming anxiety many Autistic young adults feel during the age of social media... and how you can frame your life in a more positive way.

How socially set milestones, social expectations, and social media can warp your view of what you should be achieving at different ages in life. It can often feel suffocating, demoralising, and pressuring to fit into the molds others prescribe to us… often these can stop us from living life at our own pace and creating the beginning of our own success stories in life.

Autistic Instagram creator Autienelle talks to Thomas about harmful stimming, self-injury, and autistic meltdowns - highlighting the importance of recognising stimming you do in different situations and emotions.

TW - Self-injury, Meltdowns

Diving into the deep end, Thomas talks about his experience with harmful stimming and self-injury during his adolescence. Autienelle highlights the importance of being aware of or logging different stims that are common to each situation and emotional state. Understanding your stims can be an eye-opener for how autistic people express emotions externally, allowing others to focus on these signs rather than indirect communication like facial expressions, tonality and body language.
