Change can be a huge stressor for many people on the spectrum, whether they’re changes in daily life or in life in general. As many people on the autism spectrum like routine and structure in life, this can be a big challenge. However, there is no way to live a life 100% free of change: we all have to face it sometimes. This session will discuss how people on the autism spectrum can get more comfortable with changes throughout life, whether large or small. We’ll discuss why it can be difficult to accept change and pivot one’s passions while on the spectrum, recognizing those times when it’s time to consider embracing change and pivoting one’s passion, and how to embrace change and pivot one’s passion with an open mind. You’ll walk away with inspiration to feel comfortable with trying new things and being okay with pivots and changes made in life, as doing so will open more doors to discover new passions, dreams, interests, and connections.
