Dear autistic community how do you deal, if you are able to deal with it, anticipation anxiety? I had a ressource about that with suggestions but I can’t find it anymore.
I am talking only about our anticipation anxiety and NOT the kind experienced by non autistic people.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about check this blog post from one of us describing one example. The author describes what it looked like when they were in a school environnement.

@adelinej@piaille.fr @autistics@fedigroups.social when I get too overwhelmed, I like to use the mantra : "I am just a year old human on a big spinny rock in space." Idk why it's relaxing to state my age but to me it is. Even if I was older, or younger, it would have the same effect of pulling me away from the concerns with metacognition.
