For those of us who feel guilty about looking or being unproductive, this can also help to quell that anxiety. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f61e58303432575ed0d7d77/1712335453671-JT6HPJOF2R6QX4EPSBXU/image-asset.jpeg Neurodiversity Insights and Blog - Have a break, not a breakdown: relaxation as an autistic / AuDHDer and how to rest neurodivergently - Nature For me, time in nature is a necessary form of rest, being perhaps the most thorough social rest I can experience – you don’t have to care about what people think or say or have thought or have said when you’re trying to work out what the tiny bouncing alien babies are doing in your pond. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f61e58303432575ed0d7d77/1712334850666-D9CX7UG9E99E3T44ZMYB/image-asset.jpeg Neurodiversity Insights and Blog - Have a break, not a breakdown: relaxation as an autistic / AuDHDer and how to rest neurodivergently - Sensory comfort For me, this might be a bath with candles and incense – maxing out my sense of smell, keeping visuals low, and giving my brain just the right amount to chew on by playing the same Relaxing Cello Music YouTube video each time. Weighted blankets, swing seats, hammocks, fluffy clothing, and electric blankets are other big wins for me. My post-diagnostic unmasking journey also introduced me to the delights of letting myself rock back and forth, patting myself, and vocalising, all of which can be hugely calming (and allow you be creative — learn more about stimming and creativity). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f61e58303432575ed0d7d77/1712333468447-QLQUPBJCX59LYUWYE2DQ/image-asset.jpeg Neurodiversity Insights and Blog - Have a break, not a breakdown: relaxation as an autistic / AuDHDer and how to rest neurodivergently - Watching Safe Shows It’s common for neurodivergent people to watch the same TV programmes again and again. This could be the same with music, films, or audiobooks. Engaging in media you’ve seen again and again can allow just the right amount of stimulation, and also give a sense of safety and familiarity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f61e58303432575ed0d7d77/1712335342737-E2OJAR3XO9SYQGKCTOGK/image-asset.jpeg Neurodiversity Insights and Blog - Have a break, not a breakdown: relaxation as an autistic / AuDHDer and how to rest neurodivergently - Crafts and creativity By the time we’ve reached adulthood, we can feel as though we’re no longer allowed to do creative hobbies we’re bad at. This is a Lie. You are Allowed and Encouraged. I’m personally a big fan of paints, PVA glue, and shredding whatever magazine has been posted for free through your letterbox in order to put together a messy collage (but as an adult, you’re allowed to call it ‘multimedia visual art’). You can also buy second-hand instruments off eBay and teach yourself how to play them (it’s awesome). And you can write rubbish poetry on the Notes section of your phone whenever you feel like it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f61e58303432575ed0d7d77/1712335541727-B8MK6SJT74G2YAYSWTK4/image-asset.jpeg Neurodiversity Insights and Blog - Have a break, not a breakdown: relaxation as an autistic / AuDHDer and how to rest neurodivergently - Special interests We can forget that time with our special interests is necessary and important, as opposed to an indulgence. Special interests are crucial and restorative, meeting an autistic/AuDHD need for monotropic comfort and stimulation that is often curbed in social spheres. Though tempting to brush our interests aside in favour of work, family, or other demands, this neglects a cognitive need for both rest and restoration, which, when met, can open up headspace and capacity for other types of exertion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f61e58303432575ed0d7d77/2c6d3790-d5ba-4d22-959d-65efb9346678/Autistically-Mentoring-Katya-Johnes-Headshot.png Neurodiversity Insights and Blog - Have a break, not a breakdown: relaxation as an autistic / AuDHDer and how to rest neurodivergently Katya Johnes is a late-diagnosed autistic mentor and coach.
