If you’ve recently joined Managing Autistic Overwhelm, welcome! 💜 I’m so pleased you’re here. Whether you’ve found me through my keynote talk, Facebook, my book, or simply stumbled across this community, I want you to know that you don’t have to figure everything out on your own. This community has been created to help you better understand your autistic brain, recognise what is causing overwhelm, and most importantly, start creating a life that works with your needs rather than constantly fighting against them. But there is a little secret to getting the most from Skool… ✨ Don’t just join the community — use it! ✨ Here are a few things I’d encourage you to do: 🌱 1. Introduce yourself Pop into the Community and tell us a little about yourself. You don't need to write an essay! 😂 Just tell us: - Your name - Where you're from (if you're comfortable sharing) - Whether you're autistic, exploring autism, or supporting someone who is - One thing you're currently finding difficult You never know who else might read your post and think, “Oh my goodness… me too!” 💜 2. Start with the resources Have a look through the Classroom. There are resources, guidance and practical tools there to help you understand autistic overwhelm and start making small changes. You don't need to do everything at once. In fact… please don't! 😂 Pick ONE thing that feels relevant to you right now. 🧠 3. Take part in the discussions If you see a post that resonates with you, comment. If you have a question, ask it. If you've had a little win, share it. And if you've had a rubbish day… you can share that too. This isn't about being perfectly positive all the time. It's about having a space where you can be understood. 🌸 4. Don't be afraid to ask me questions I'm here too! If there's something you're struggling with and you're not sure where to start, ask. Your question might actually be something several other people are wondering about too. 📚 5. Work through the content at YOUR pace There is absolutely no race.

I'm so happy you're here. 💜 This free reset has been created to help you better understand autistic overwhelm, calm your nervous system, and begin taking small, practical steps towards feeling more in control. The best part? Everything is available right now, so you don't have to wait for new content each day. You can work through it at your own pace, whether that's all in one sitting or a little each day. Here's how to get started: ✅ Start with Day 1 and work through the lessons in order if you can, as each one builds on the previous one. 📖 Download the workbook for each day before watching the video so you can complete the activities as you go. 💬 Use the comments under each lesson if you have questions or would like to share your reflections. You're not alone on this journey. 📌 Don't skip the activities. The videos are valuable, but the real transformation happens when you take a few minutes to complete the exercises. ⏰ Important: All of the videos and downloadable resources will be available until Sunday, so make sure you complete the reset before then. Over the next five sessions you'll discover: 🌿 Why overwhelm happens 🧠 How your nervous system responds to stress ⚡ Practical ways to regulate before reaching breaking point 🗺️ How to recognise your own overwhelm patterns 💜 And how to create your own personalised blueprint for moving from overwhelmed to empowered. Most importantly, be kind to yourself. There is no right or wrong way to do this. Pause the videos whenever you need to, revisit sections if something resonates, and remember that even one small insight can make a big difference. I'm so glad you've joined us, and I can't wait to guide you through the reset. Let's get started! 💜 — Tracey
