Self-regulation; it's something that I teach and impart to my students. No ONE person, no matter how neuro-typical he may be, can control his emotions when he is put into a situation where he is uneasy or tested emotionally or mentally.
Someone who may be on the autism spectrum will tantrum(floors, screams, shouts, gets violent and may hit others) when he is unable to accept something, and hence is unable to self-regulate his emotions.
A Neuro-typical person (With a good head on his shoulders) will usually walk away from the situation or self-talk to calm himself down.
Adaptability; accepting the environment (which may have changes) and moving on with with the plan.
Now, together with adaptability comes fake-ism.( A term i just coined. Very un-original, i know). Not always but pretty commonly.
There are amazing people who can adapt and accept any situation that they're put in without a hint of fake-ism and i am very amazed by these people. I sometimes wish i had their temperament and ability to just put differences aside and have a good time.
Some day.
For now, i will learn to self-regulate and adapt without trying to be fake.
