Managing Autism, Anxiety, stress, and Depression.

 

Most people if not all face Anxiety, Stress and Depression, which is what can cause meltdowns, self-harm from depression, and stress from Anxiety. We know it’s possible this can be the case in people without Autism. Such issues as relationship breaks and deaths of people, we know it can affect all humans in a bad way. We do not get over it necessary, but we learn to live with and even move on to positive things in our lives.

 

This doesn’t mean people without disabilities and other peoples do get over things but those of who do face disabilities other problems, it tends to affect us even more so even though we well move on, we will just most likely take longer to do so than other people.

Other things that may make people with Autism anxious maybe things like atmospheres with too many people about noise etc. They find it hard to socialize and interact with people mainly those they do not know.

It is important to investigate what is stressing a person out and why.

Counseling and therapy. Advising people to see their GP get refereed  to counseling or and therapy, emotional support, mental health websites, etc.

Try to advise or and encourage keeping minds or and bodies busy exercise walks, poetry, writing, arts, crafts, hobbies, interests, careers, puzzles word searches, etc, anything they may enjoy. May be look for sites etc that may keep them focused or and may support, advise, or encourage them to do it for themselves.

Not all these thing may help everyone, but you need to encourage them to try different things they like until something does help. Things they do not like will not naturally help. However’ I do agree on they need to help you to help themselves but there are times Anxiety, Depression, etc can come on without or with a reason, It is not helpful if there’s no reason for it but you can suggest for them to keep their minds or and bodies busy if needs are whether there is a reason why they are feeling how they feel or not. However private law policies etc are some people do not feel confident about saying what’s on their minds to people they don’t know but it’s not in everyone, maybe why some people not want to say but never try to force anything out of anyone, even though it may be concerning. Not that I am saying that everyone bottle things up but we need to respect their privacy at the same time. All you can say to them is if you need help let’s know, if we can’t help we can find somewhere or and someone who can be depended on the situation and what is.
