So, we’re in 2026. The process of getting into a new year is mostly a busy, loud thing.

How do you do it? Do you have any ways of coping or getting around the stress?

For me it’s mostly limiting the amount of people and having a safe space to be able to go back to when needed. But I am pondering better methods.

Edit: I mean the new years eve, party and fireworks directly.

    Two ways: we either travel to an island with my brother and his partner (who’s also autistic). On this island fireworks are banned pretty much everywhere and we spend the evening like every other night of the year.

    Or we stay home and spend the evening like every other night of the year but I’m wearing earplugs and noise cancelling headphones.

    Yes, we get asked to celebrate with other people but we decided it’s just not worth it a couple years ago.
