Reflection on Amber Kay's Conversation with Bill

🔥

Thanks again,

for sharing today. I'm inspired by how well you're doing with your business, thank you for giving us AuDHDers hope!

In relation to the anxiety stimming, mine was similar. In the past I would play Subway Surfers on my phone while smoking a cigarette to calm down. My cigarette smoking eventually turned into vaping. Even though I've quit both now, I still carry immense shame and embarrassment for those behaviours. I'd always known I had an oral fixation but never connected it to stimming and anxiety regulation. Thank you for reminding me of this today, and for helping me to process the shame I'd been carrying.

said, we're a group of weirdos bonding together to form a new normal. I'm feeling pretty bonded with you after today's interview! ☺️
