Autism Emotional Regulation for Adults: Master Neurodiverse Self-Control (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798243378796)

Is your "volume control" stuck on high? Stop masking your way to burnout and start building a life that actually works for your nervous system.

Living in a neurotypical world can often feel like running an operating system without a manual. You may find yourself exhausted from "acting normal," struggling to name the emotions swirling inside you (alexithymia), or missing your body's physical cues until it's too late (interoception), . If you are tired of the cycle of pushing through until you crash, this guide is your roadmap to a different way of living.

This isn't just another book about "managing" symptoms; it is a practical, neuro-affirming toolkit designed to shift your goal from behavioral compliance to biological safety, .

Inside, you will discover how to:

• Decode Your Internal Signals: Reconnect with your "body's internal GPS" to identify hunger, thirst, and rising anxiety before you hit the red zone, .
• Escape the Burnout Trap: Distinguish between the exhausting cost of "masking"-hiding who you are to fit in-and true self-regulation, using "Energy Accounting" to treat your energy like a budget you must protect, .
• Build Your "Crash Pad" Design specific sensory havens and use the "Wellbeing Passport" to clearly communicate your strengths and support needs to employers and friends without having to constantly explain yourself, .
• Navigate Meltdowns Without Shame: Learn why meltdowns are involuntary biological events, not tantrums, and implement a "Comedown" protocol that prioritizes safety and sensory deprivation over "talking it out", .
• Advocate for Your Needs: Use the S.P.A.C.E. framework (Sensory, Predictability, Acceptance, Communication, Empathy) to create environments where you don't just survive, but flourish.

Your nervous system deserves a break, and you deserve to feel safe in your own skin. Grab your copy today to move from chronic exhaustion to sustainable wellbeing!
