I had never heard of ACT therapy until now, but I do feel like I’m able to regulate much better when I incorporate mindfulness practices into my routine and focus on the present. It sounds very similar to that, so I can see how it could have more positive results for autism I’ve also found that exposure therapy can often be counterproductive because of my sensory issues. Thank you for pointing out that saying no can be an exposure in itself! 👏
@@Sensory0verlord yes ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy) has a big emphasis on mindfulness, it seems quite adapted for autism. Yeah exposure therapy has some issues as you can't exposure therapy away sensory issues. Thanks for commenting! 😊
Hi Ingrid , The thumbnail was interesting, you seemed like a witch casting a spell 😅 Even outside of autism I'm somehow quite skeptical and critical about those techniques of therapy because there is much of the person's situation that is not taken into account. Honestly I don't really like the concept of leaving the comfort zone in order to grow. I guess it's up to every person to decide for themselves if they want to do it or not , I guess there's nothing inherently wrong with staying in the comfort zone if the person feels happy and fulfilled. Of course I do see the benefits of sometimes getting out of a comfort zone but it shouldn't be pushed on someone and as you said it can be done in many different ways. For me it made total sense what you said. I can't really speak about the book but it seems from what you said it doesn't fully capture the difficulties of autistic and tends to suggest strategies to conform to the norm but maybe some people will find something helpful. I didn't watch the earlier videos of the book because unfortunately now I'm busy with some paperwork... Thanks for sharing
@@sicparvismagna1294 yeah i don't know i guess for me exposure therapy has been good for my social anxiety but not so much for autism. Of course it will be different for everyone. However a lot of psychologists and doctors will only use CBT programs and try to get everyone to fit that box.
I’m ok with whatever you feel is useful or interesting to share or not share about the book. I’m personally not really looking for a comprehensive breakdown. Do what you feel is best. I find your thoughts interesting and like seeing how mine compare. It’s actually really hard for me to grasp what I would do or recommend in many hypotheticals. Without having a ton of contextual knowledge. Like I think I can understand both sides a lot of times. So not so black and white. Although I will say i definitely used to be way more into that way of thinking. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or not though. Because i feel more lost and unsure of many things now. But maybe it’s just another form of black and white. Idk, lol. I really want to keep writing lol, but all stop to respect your time.

It's good to know it somehow helped you. Yes I guess that can be harmful to somehow oblige people to fit in that box.
