There are times when we feel passionate about advocating about something that our emotions are highly mixed into what we want to communicate and because autistic people often have no filter when we speak what is on our mind, this can result in us being seen in a wrong light, something that I do not want to be seen as.
Sometimes there are things that we advocate about that trigger us, and we want to express ourselves in ways that can be seen as inappropriate towards others and at times become consequential. It is often best that we think before communicating with others about things that trigger us, or we are passionate about. It is necessary to remain calm when communicating with others because by getting excited and using inappropriate language can result in consequences or the other party becoming equally elevated.
Additionally, this is a part of life in places where rules and boundaries must be respected. It is important to remember that it is often not about having your own needs met, but about having the needs of all met. There are many times that we are not allowed to see the whole picture of things and we must respect the orders of those in power. It may not be easy to have to follow their orders because it may result in having to do something that may make us feel uncomfortable, but if it is a necessary part of what we must do, then we must learn the necessary coping strategies to manage getting through it.
Many times, autistic people like things to go according to routine. It also must often go in a way that feels comfortable for them. Change is something that is excessively scary and can be challenging to handle, especially if there are unknowns in the process. Because this can make us overly anxious and make is act differently because change often produces a lot of fear-based thoughts and results in frustration, we become overly passionate about wanting to have things in a way that make autistic people feel comfortable and we our emotions cam get intertwined in wanting what we want.
When communicating, it is best to do it in the way that works for you that will make you the calmest. Communicating when you have a deeply embedded emotion can result in things that are inappropriate being said and can result in further consequences. There must also be a degree of acceptance that by communicating your struggles and challenges does not mean that you will get the outcome that you desire. You must be willing to accept that communicating your struggles does not mean that you will automatically get what you want.
There are things often behind the scenes that you cannot often control or see that become necessary to make things the way that they are. Producing emotions or acting inappropriate will only result in things becoming worse for you. This is where it becomes important to understand that you need to find a way that works for you to manage those feelings and be able to cope with the situation that you are handed, even though it is more challenging. It may be that your brain is thinking that, and you are unwilling to give things a chance for things to work out.
In essence, the way that we communicate things matters in the outcome that it will be addressed. By not addressing things in an appropriate tone and manner is always the best course of action and will not result in further conflict that could be consequential. Being confrontational will often not result in communicating effectively in advocating and it is important to maintain a fair headed level in communicating with others in getting what is needed for you. Sometimes things are necessary and must be followed in the way that have to be followed, therefore it is best to do things that can make us be able to cope with any of the challenges that we have to face in the best way that we can.
