Women Who are Autistic
Boundaries without Explaining Yourself and Understanding Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In episode nine of the Women Who Are Autistic New Year’s 2026 “careless era” series, Annelise shares what she’s unlearning about boundaries, rumination, and the exhaustion of overexplaining as self-protection. She explains how autistic women may replay interactions and scan for threat, especially when fear of misinterpretation or rejection is heightened, and outlines how rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) can amplify perceived shifts like delayed texts into intense emotional pain. She explores why real relational safety can feel both beautiful and terrifying, and offers practical ways to calm the nervous system before seeking reassurance: pausing and naming what’s happening, grounding and breathing, delaying “repair,” reality-checking evidence, and using simple scripts to ask for clarity without apologizing. She also encourages savoring safety, building internal anchors, finding neurodivergent-informed support, and leaning on community.
🤍 Coaching available for autistic & neurodivergent women ready for clarity, regulation, and self-trust.
