In this episode, I provide a glimpse of how our comfort zones relate to autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It’s important to acknowledge how our comfort zones have pros and cons embedded within their operating systems, which can either leverage our sense of well-being or blind us to the reality that life is a process of changes happening all around us.
We all learn differently as humans with unique preferences, sensory needs, and perceptual boundaries. Likewise, we all respond to fear differently.
Our comfort zones naturally have blind spots to the pitfalls that surround their perspectives. Though our comfort zones can serve us with staying out of danger, the problem often lies in their nature to deceive our ability to perceive things objectively. When we don’t overindulge ourselves within its insulated boundaries, we can admit that they are a helpful crutch for our need to have safety and security. Without them, we have a hard time thriving in a state of growth. On the other hand, too much of them, and we become consumed by their influence and can become stuck in a perpetual state of protection.
Regardless of what comfort zone each and every individual identifies with, it’s important to remember a timeless Taoist principle: that too much of anything produces its opposite.
As for the corresponding figures from this episode’s section from the book, unfortunately, I am unable to post those in the description here as the technical difficulties seem to persist.
