• 0:21
  something that happens to autistic people quite often and
• 0:23
  century overloads on our main causes of autism meltdowns.
• 0:26
  Now if you're familiar with autism, you're familiar with
• 0:28
  meltdowns. This is uncomfortable.
• 0:30
  Outbursts of emotions are happens when there is a loss of
• 0:33
  control in the environment of the autistic individual and it's
• 0:36
  not good. I myself do have the from time
• 0:38
  to time and I have to manage with them.
• 0:40
  So I've written down 3 tip tab and navigate your way through
• 0:43
  these things. Now if you're new around here
• 0:44

• 0:51
  OK guys, so the first one I'm going to talk about here is
• 0:53
  headphones now always carrying noise cancelling headphones with
• 0:56
  you wherever you go. Now I actually have the Apple
• 0:59
  Airpod Max, I think they're called now.
• 1:01
  These are noise cancelling headphones and they're just
• 1:03
  absolutely fantastic. As soon as you put them on, it
• 1:04
  kind of blocks out all the noise.
• 1:05
  And you can just actually, if you're in an environment that's
• 1:07
  sensory trigger and like an environment where it's too loud,
• 1:09
  noisy, could be shopping, World Train Station anywhere, put
• 1:12
  these headphones on and it just really does help.
• 1:15
  It dampens the noise, and it's kind of like one of the things
• 1:17
  that I would never leave home without because if I'm going
• 1:19
  somewhere, I know it's going to be noisy.
• 1:20
  I want to take my headphones because I want to kind of detach
• 1:22
  from that environment. It's a bit crazy and chaotic,
• 1:24
  right? So #2 is comfort over class.
• 1:26
  And I always use this rule, especially when I'm traveling,
• 1:28
  is that I'm put on like pajamas or like sweats or anything
• 1:32
  that's super, super comfy because I want to be comfortable
• 1:34
  rather than looking stylish, right?
• 1:36
  And so if I'm traveling on an airplane or bus or car, whether
• 1:39
  I'll just really chill and just get into like the company's
• 1:41
  clothes of it. As soon as I wanted my
• 1:43
  destination, I'll just go to the restroom and change into, like,
• 1:45
  professional clothes, and I go into the event that I'm supposed
• 1:47
  to do. Now this is amazing because it
• 1:49
  gives you that control in the environment that you really
• 1:51
  need, especially when traveling, where this traveling can be kind
• 1:53
  of quite out of control, so comfortable class wins every
• 1:56
  time. OK, so #3 is sunglasses.
• 1:58
  A lot of people overlook the fun, but carrying sunglasses is
• 2:01
  a really good way to navigate through social situations and
• 2:04
  also people who are sensitive to light sensitivity, like of the
• 2:06
  sun's too bright. If light are too bright, put
• 2:08
  sunglasses on. Helps kind of dampen that light
• 2:11
  ring in and it dampens that effect of that sensory input.
• 2:14
  And also, if you're talking to somebody, this is a pro tip.
• 2:17
  They believe that you're looking at them in the eyes.
• 2:19
  Even though it's difficult for us to say, people love people in
• 2:20
  the eyes because you can look anywhere around them but you've
• 2:22
  got sunglasses on so they won't even know.
