How do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades calm their nervous systems and become more grounded?
@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic through low-volume #overtonesinging when I’m on my own or with friends who know about me. In a crowded and somewhat loud environment a can revert to what I call stealth overtonesinging because it blends in. On a low note, this works so well that oftentimes it’s not discovered and even when, the source is not obvious. Otherwise I concentrate on slow breathing with rising and falling belly. It’s basically singing without singing

I do a lot of singing too to relax, though I care much less about people noticing 😁. Another thing that helps when I'm home is camomile tea, and doing stuff with me hands such as baking.
Singing is a big one for me, too. It relaxes me, and gets my mind off whatever is bothering me. But only when no one else is in the house.
