📱 social media accounts 📱

Social media has been my favorite way to learn, and I found these accounts, very authentic and genuine. This was my favorite way to learn more about symptoms in particular, as it described them in ways that felt more relatable to me. I often found myself saying ‘oh I do that, I just didn’t know that’s what it was called’.

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

I appreciate this book for teaching me about social motivations, it helped me tremendously. I've linked the updated version, however, I do acknowledge that it is still a bit outdated as it frequently references the 1930s and 40s. Don’t let that stop you from reading it though, there are still some key social skills to be learned.

8 Types of Stimming List

Before I found this list, I had no idea there were multiple types of stimming, I always just imagined someone rocking back and forth. It never occurred to me that it could be something like smelling all the store candles or playing your favorite songs over and over.
