ADVANCED

Summary

Autistic adults 18+ guide: SMART goal frameworks, sensory-friendly systems, accountability scripts, progress trackers. Integrates biomedical literacy—how executive function, energy, sleep, medication, mental health affect goals—to work WITH your neurobiology.

Key Points

SMART adapted: Specific, measurable, achievable for YOUR capacity, relevant, time-bound WITH buffers for overload/illness; energy accounting, executive adaptations (micro-steps, body doubling).
Biomedical first: Assess sleep (7-9hrs), energy, mood, nutrition, meds BEFORE goals; stabilize if multiple unstable.
Energy tracking: Baseline, switching costs, crashes; 85%+ capacity = burnout risk; build recovery, reduce frequency.
Tools: Scripts (partners, deadlines, mid-goal adjust), quarterly/monthly/weekly/daily templates, check-in prompts.
Escalate for: Sleep issues 4+wks; fatigue despite sleep; low mood/anhedonia 2+wks; anxiety blocking starts; med sides; unpredictable crashes.
