Sometimes as autistic people, we are gullible to believe everything we hear and think something may work for us.

Three years from hitting rock bottom, I hope I can keep moving forward and less backwards. This episode is also available as a blog post: http://dustinsdynastyusa.com...

I will have to admit for the better part of four years, not being coherent with my medication regimen has wreaked havoc with my mood stability constantly.

As an autistic person, our brains can constantly be in overdrive. It can be constantly brewing thoughts that can sometimes be negative and if they are allowed to spiral and obsess out of control.

As we end the first month of 2023, it can be proven that I have been more regulated. This started in 2022 and was made steadfast in 2023.

Being an autistic adult, it can be hard to recognize that you have to know how you are regulating your mood. This can play a part in having a sense of it when having to interact with others and recognize when you need to take a break and take care of yourself before moving on.

Whether we like to hear things or not, it can sometimes be a struggle to accept them for what they are. Having to follow through with things because it is necessary for us to be there or be our best selves can sometimes be hard to see if you don’t feel it, but you must know it's right.

As 2023 arrived, I realized that I needed to do a reality check on all things on the wellness front. I had to realize that in 2023 I needed to get real about all parts of wellness, physical, mental and spiritual.

As I started 2023 a few weeks ago, I am working to be a better me. One of those things I did that I didn’t even know that I would be doing would be letting go of things that were bothering me and trying to focus on what I needed spiritual guidance on.

For the majority of my life, I could never see the positive of a situation. No matter what was presumed of a situation, I would bring up some sort of negative connotation or the worst thing about something that could be intended to be a nice day out.

Recently, I have realized and accepted that much of my moments regarding increased anxiety and anger result from struggling with the fact that I need to prepare myself to transition to something outside of a safe space to something that has the potential to be unpredictable or where I have no control. I have also understood that this is what comes with being autistic. This episode is also availabl...

I know that I need to advocate for my recent struggle and want to get my words across, but I feel that this is the best way to do it. Being autistic, I take things at face value and am a concrete thinker. When told that your life could end, it is without a doubt quite the scare. Thanlfully, after further tests, the scare became nothing than just a internal error and I have been medically cleared....

My brain is often wired to see the bad in my life. There are however many good things in my life and one focal point of being well is seeing that my wellness is better than I think it is often, regardless of wanting to think negatively about things that happen.

Sometimes in life as a person in general, we need to realize that we need to move on beyond the points that we think we can defend ground in a reason of why something should be. It has taken radical acceptance in many cases to understand that there are things that must be in life or that cannot be controlled by me to grasp reality in the present moment.

Part of being well is having the understanding that there are things in life that must be endured. Even though I am an adult, it can be hard at times to play the adult in me and this can present a challenge in being well.

While understanding my own autism in recent months, I have begun to learn to be more accepting and understanding of the traits of my autistic peers.
