How big is the bucket and how much water is coming out of the faucet?
Even if it's a mid-sized bucket, but the faucet is just...
tons of water is coming out, it's full throttle, that's going to overfill pretty quickly.
If it's a really tiny bucket, even if it's just a trickle from the faucet, it's still going to overflow pretty quickly.
So we want to address basically both sides of the coin of the stressors or the demands, the things that are creating demands in our life.
And then also the size of the bucket, which would be things like nervous system resilience and
basically the sturdiness of how much we can take in.
And again, autistic people in general, we tend to start out with smaller buckets because of that more sensitive nervous system that we have, because in general, we just need more rest than most people.
So we start this world with a more vulnerable bucket to begin with.
And so yes, those would be the two sides of building in supports.
before.
Yeah, I think absolutely.
It'll look different for every person.
And I think of recovery as back to what your baseline is before the significant episode.
And so everyone's baseline is going to be different, right?
Their executive functioning baseline, their sensory profile baseline.
And sometimes it can also be hard to know what our true baseline is.
That's why it might not be the best definition.
I think there are some folks...
I've heard people talk about this where they don't ever fully get back to what their baseline was before a significant burnout.
