Emotional Health for Autistic Adults
Emotions represent valuable information that we can benefit from to take care of ourselves and help us make better decisions. They also have a lot of energy which—if not channeled healthily—can cause us all kinds of issues (physical health, relationally, at work/school, burnout, etc.). If our emotions are too built up, we tend to hover near the threshold for a stress response, irritability, etc. There can be additional considerations for emotional health for autistic people, which are also covered in this document.
