Niamh Garvey offers tips and tricks designed to reduce sensory and emotional stress and look after your autistic self.

What’s more, every element of this book can be personalised to you. Featuring strategies including ‘quick calm plans’ for managing triggers and lived-experience advice on understanding emotional regulation, coping with sensory overload and how to look after your senses during intimacy, this guide is here to ensure that you don’t just survive adulthood, you thrive in it.
