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.

    I dont know of any easy fixes, unfortunately. Noise canceling headphones, and friend(s) to hangout with can help reduce stress of fireworks and manage an obligatory party. At the very least trying to find the quietest corner and finding something to zone into, music, a game etc. For me even without noise canceling headphones, listening to music I enjoy on my headphones even in semi chaotic places helps a little.

    Obligatory family gathering might not have any of those options though. Best of luck.

      Thanks, finding out about ones own autism after having an own family is a little challenging.
