As an autistic adult, advocating for the type of communication you need can make your interactions smoother and less stressful
Here are a few tips:
🟢Be direct and polite
🟣Use clear, simple language
🔴Focus on what helps you process or respond better
🔵You don’t need to disclose more
Deciding last-minute what to eat after a busy day or even a long day can be a challenge for us, and not one we always want to partake in.
Why not prepare your favourite meals or snacks in advance, so no added pressure.
