  • I am also the son of two worlds. From the age of 6, I was always treated differently with one group of people compared to the other.

    I didn’t get better until I was older, I thought it would in my twenties but it’s actually in my thirties that I found people who accept both sides of me but I always feel like it’s one side more than the other. It has made me a very withdrawn person.

    On top of being autistic, I just would rather not deal with people.













  • I find that stopping patterns help more. If you dissociate more in your bedroom, try to get out of there and spend time in the living room.

    Try to not consume content but rather do something. Doodling even. Look forward to doing something. Anything that requires some brain activity that requires you to interact.

    Don’t be afraid of failing that activity. No one succeeds on the first try.

    Switch your mindset to look forward to things.

    Watching TV is better than scrolling mindlessly through your phone.

    My therapist has started me with a gratitude journal and I stopped dissociating after work. I’m tired and I wish I could be painting minis but instead I’m watching community and doodling. Sometimes if I have some energy, I paint a little.

    I still find myself some days to say fuck this and scroll.

    Hope you find something that helps
