Ember Green | When Exposure Therapy Doesn't Work @Ember_Green | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
People always think I love traveling because I’ve done it a lot.
And I would always respond, I hate traveling. It’s being in places that I love.

Being autistic while traveling comes with all sorts of challenges, chief among them being airports. I hate airports. I particularly dislike Manchester Airport. None of them are neurodiversity or even really disability friendly. In this video, I discuss how I travel. What accommodations I provide for myself so that I am able to travel. I also discuss exposure therapy and how it relates to autism. Did you know that autistic people are less able to become habitualized to external stimuli? This is why exposure therapy is less likely to work for us. But then, I have used exposure therapy methods many times in the past to overcome phobias & dislikes. So what gives? What makes airports different from insects?
Follow my journey from Germany to the UK & learn about how this disabled neurodivergent person copes. Barely.
Also, Autism Backpack Reveal!!!
Here are the studies I referenced about autism & habituation:
