Recognising signs of stress that could lead to autistic overload

This series answers some of the most frequently asked questions we have received on YouTube and from our autism unlocked audience.

In this video, Purple Ella answers questions about spotting early warning signs of stress and anxiety that could lead to autistic overload. They talk about why autistic people might find it hard to recognise physical symptoms of stress, as well as questions you can ask yourself to help identify your own stress symptoms, and examples of practical steps you could take in response.

This video was created by Clinical Partners for the NHS. The series is part of autism unlocked – a dedicated space for autistic people and their families to receive expert advice and guidance on a range of issues.
