keep calm

August 27, 2021

As an Autist, I often struggle with anxiety and panic attacks. When I feel a shutdown approaching, I concentrate on my bracelet and repeat that message over and over again in my mind. It helps me to avoid embarrassing and uncomfortable situations, especially at work or in the supermarket, without attracting attention. I have a secret communication with my husband. When something is wrong and we're with other people, I would turn the bracelet on the other side so he knows I need his help. I feel more secure since I have it and I find the colors and patterns very calming and beautiful.
