Problem:
Identifying three personal needs I have that could negatively affect my work with children and adolescents. Overstimulation, burnout, and recognizing my physical limits. I think again, due to my ADHD, I can be over stimulated easily and become overwhelmed. I also tend to hyper focus at times and have a tough time letting go of the overstimulation I feel because of an extended time of maladaptive behavior of a child, which can lead to burnout. I am also middle-aged, which limits my ability to sustain physical activity. Working with autistic children, I have found it is very physically taxing, and they do not understand personal bubbles, so I have to limit my physical contact with aggressive, maladaptive behavior children to 25 hours a week, or I become physically exhausted.
