What calming techniques do you utilize in your everday life?
We talked stuff that works you up, how about things that you do to calm down? What techniques, activities, mantras, stims, etc. do you do to keep yourself comfortable and safe? Feel free to share what you'd like - and something kinda cool is that you might end up helping someone else down the line.

Walk to the nature, masturbation, sex, meditation and a medication.
Simple human does simple things to chill out. Feel this =)
ill skip the last but otherwise alright.
If you developed the noble eightfold path, a meditation could be better than sex, but it cost a lot of time. For Autistic it can be more difficult. From another side part of people may have a talent for meditation.
is meditation the main method of cultivating the various right ways. Feels like house before the cart to get to it to improve meditation rather than improve meditation to get to that.
I think medication helps in some very real ways. But of course, there are always side-effects and you have to approach it with an openness that both parties are coming in pretty blindly and you've both got a common goal to get you to where you want to go. So it's a lot of trial and error, but when you find things that work for you it just kinda - *clicks* and you don't feel different than who you are but almost kinda...better? That sounds absolutely awful, but by that I mean the things that stood in your way that made it hard for you to do whatever you want to do day to day become a lot easier to achieve without being detrimental in other areas of your life.
And I was anti-medication for about 650 years. But it's helped me, quite a bit =)
In my case pharmacy it's vital reason. Some people who need medication and have doubts in this, can convince their to take medication Jerzy Vetulani.
"But it’s helped me, quite a bit =)" Finally you take or not? Help you administration or prohibition?
im not anti per se but more last resort type. I was worse though. I have learned to start taking pain medication after a surgery and not wait until it gets bad enough to take (because it can take quite a bit of time to take effect and when the hospital ones wear off it can come on strong and sudden)
Prophylaxis in psychiatry also is presence.
Yeah, my mom is so anti-medication she has surgeries and just winces through the recovery and it's absolutely miserable to watch. I once was in so much pain that I went into shock and if an amazing most lovely nurse on the face of this planet (I LOVE YOU SARBJIT!) hadn't helped me I am not sure what would have happened. I'm not even joking, it was bad. Really bad @_@!!
I am also taking some stuff right now that hasn't fixed everything, but I am way more functional right now than I was prior (cause it got bad for a while there too - was stuck in bed for a majority of the year and could barely walk). SO! I am pro-medication but as long as you and your provider can reach a mutual space with it and you feel like it's helping and not hurting your being =)! Cheers =)!!
In total psychotropics in ASD is lesser prescribed, have a lesser effect in autistic population, but not for each patient. From other hand each pharmacologic substance is another substance, and each psychotherapist is another man, finally. If you take a therapy, you take side effects of it. There is calculation. And a harder life is not a better life, that's just what culture teaches.
And relationships - yes I'm Asperger.
