Self-regulation is we get better and better at this as we go along, as we learn, uh, as we learn to recognize the signs of when we are overstressed.

Now.

I just want to do one tiny bit of science.

I said a second ago that a stress is anything that requires us to burn energy to stay in balance.

Okay, so cold weather is a stress.

For a kid on the spectrum, noises, smells can be a stress.

Crowds can be a stress.

And so what's happening?

If a child is

overstressed and this is any child.

all of our kids when they're over stressed.

What that means is

They have to burn all this energy in order to keep going.

That's the definition of stress.

It's something that we burn energy in order to deal with the stress.

So they go into an energy deficit.

Their tank is empty.

And what's happening today is we've got a generation of kids now with an empty tank because of all the stress.

And instead of refilling the tank, they go for dopamine.

So there's all kinds of ways of getting a dopamine fix.
