How does dysregulation impact creativity and our special interests? And what does this mean to autistic individuals (like me) who might already be struggling to identify their emotional states and stressors?
In this episode, I discuss my own experience with dysregulation and creativity and share insights from autistic blogger and therapist Karen Sheriff and podcaster and neuropsychologist Dr. Theresa Regan.
The specific media resources mentioned in this episode are:
The dichotomy of being an autistic creator (Sheriff)
Powerful Self-Care: Awareness of the Internal (Reagan)
