Coping strategies

Also in this section:

It’s important that you have strategies to help you cope with things that you find difficult.

It’s different for every person, but some of these might help:

A calm space you can go to

Sensory items that help you, like spinner rings, gum or putty

Wearing headphones in crowded places

Avoiding rush hour or busy times in shops

Ordering online

Having help with managing money

Setting reminders on your phone for appointments

Exercising or going for walks

Pets, if you are able to care for one

Volunteering with a local charity or group

These are some worksheets to help you think through things.
