S3 E14 - Sam, autism overstimulation and conquering Norway

Where we have been and how far we have come is so important when we are trying to understand our mental health. Acknowledging the hard times is so important, because it gives us chance to see the steps we have taken to try get better and feel happier. That's one thing that Sam does in this podcast. Would he ever have thought he was able to go to Norway when he struggling with his mental health? Probably not, but he did manage to and he talks us through how he did it. A kind and soul who just wants to do right by others, Sam talks us through his mental health and its relationship to his Autism, amongst other things like the barriers he has faced and how he understands ways to deal with them.We talk football, school, masking alongside hearing how he made Chris McCausland laugh. It was a pleasure to have him on a talk about his experiences. Enjoy.Minutes 0  -  Huddersfield town football club and check in 6:18 - Safe space in school, bullying and the relief of covid13:15  - Support outside school and disability football23:08 - Understanding autism and masking 31:20 -  Conquering Norway and the learning the boundaries for himself43:20 - Getting off social media and overstimulation 48 - Purpose through helping others and comedic timing with Chris McCausland55 - Final piece of advice Give us a review or send us a text about what you would like to see in the podcastPlease if you like or have benefitted from the episode then give us a share,  review, follow us or rate us on the platform you are listening on.For anymore information, support and services on mental health, visit Yormind which can help you to support someone else or give you a little bit more understanding of your own mental health as well.
