5 tips for recognising emotions

Posted by: alisrowe, March 21, 2016

Recognising emotions is very difficult when you have autism. Very often, what you feel is so overwhelming it takes a very very long time to determine and define the feeling. This can lead to difficulty in communication with friends, family, or partners.

Being able to communicate about how we feel is massively important in society. There are plenty of proverbs and idioms to describe feelings about situations. However, when you have autism, telling someone how you feel verbally is often quite a struggle.

Here are 5 tips that may help to make recognising emotions easier.
