Just made this. It's cheap, easy, tasty, and filling while being very sensorily gentle. This'll be great on #autisticoverwhelm days. Gives something warm in the tummy without demanding much from me. What I don't eat today gets portioned out and frozen. Served with buttered toast.

#ActuallyAutistic
"Everyone can become overwhelmed by it is much more common for Autistic people due to experiencing the world in a different way, whether mentally, emotionally, especially in terms of sensory experiences. Someone might be overwhelmed due to sensory sensitivities, being asked too many questions/demands, things going wrong or because something has changed. It leads to meltdowns, shutdowns, increased anxiety, increased sadness and increased irritability. Each person is different but some things that help are stopping/reducing sensory triggers, giving time and space to recover, provide reassurance/stims and reducing the pressure of the situation."
Autistic Overwhelm, what is it, why might someone be overwhelmed, what it leads to and what helps.
