hey is there any tips for school like during class when getting overstimulated to help calm you down or to help with being able to comprehend what your reading/ trying to solve without freaking out more because you can't understand it

It's pretty normal for people to feel overstimulated 💛

You are not alone 

If you ever struggle, don't hesitate to ask teachers for extra help.

Slow down your breathing.

Do small amounts at a time to see progress and build confidence.

All you can ever do is your best 💛

I second the breathing; 4 in 6 out. Download a breathing app and make the timing like you currently breathe but slightly closer to 4 6.

Medication can give more focus which may help as well.
