Navigating Self-Consciousness and Overcoming Challenges
In this chapter, the speakers discuss the impact of realizing their autism on their mental health, specifically how self-consciousness affected their ability to connect with others. They explore the feedback cycle of increased self-consciousness leading to poorer performance in social situations, and how overthinking can turn beliefs into self-fulfilling prophecies. They share their personal experiences and ultimately discuss how they were able to overcome their reawakened self-consciousness and embrace the social world.
