I have autism, and it made me the sports reporter I am

During college at CSUN, I had learned from a kinesiology professor how to control my anxiety and overcome the feelings of overstimulation. She told me to close my eyes and visualize a happy moment in my life. She said: "Focus on it and make it so vivid that it's like you are in your own time machine and concentrate for 30 seconds." This method allowed me to be more comfortable in situations that caused overstimulation, like driving.
