Hi I just joined and I wanted to introduce myself. I have high functioning autism, I self diagnosed myself in 2008 at the age of 25 and then was clinically diagnosed in 2010 at the age of 27. Itโs been both a strength and struggle to be on the spectrum.
My anxiety has always been worse at night. Panic attacks would ramp up, and one of the ways I found to cope was by singing to myself. I started writing songs as a form of medicineโsomething I deeply needed. I wrote this song when I was 16, as a lullaby for myself, and I would rock back and forth as I played it over and over, until my nervous system calmed and I could finally sleep. I hope it has the same effect on you. May peace be with you as you listen, and carry you into the next day.
