The Sensory Overload Journal - Calm Blue Edition
A 90-day journal for autistic adults to track triggers, energy, sensory needs and gentle recovery
Your sensory experience is real and deserves to be tracked with the same care as sleep, food or money. Over 90 days this journal collects brief notes: what your senses took in each day, where the load came from and what helped you come back to yourself. No long essays, no scoring. A blank day is information too.
After a few weeks the pages start talking to each other: bad afternoons follow loud mornings, one specific texture costs more than it seems to. That knowledge can go with you to therapy, to work, or simply stay yours.
Calm Blue Edition: a cool blue tone for readers who settle with blue.

What is inside
- Sensory baseline - which senses ask the most of you, which environments drain you fastest, where you recharge, early body signs that overload is coming.
- Recovery menu - what helps in under 2 minutes, in about 15 minutes and for a full reset; people you can signal without explaining; your exit phrase for overwhelming situations.
- Living maps - "My places" and "My people" plus an incident log you return to across the 90 days.
- One daily page for 90 days - morning energy, sensory and social load, what pushed you toward overload, what helped, a box to draw your feeling. Three to five minutes.
- A weekly review after each of the 12 weeks - patterns, who saved your week, a place that charged you up, one small adjustment.
- Support and recovery trackers at the back of the book.

Questions and answers
Is this journal only for people with an autism diagnosis?
No. It was designed for autistic adults, but the pages work the same way with ADHD, high sensory sensitivity or burnout. There are no tests and no scores.
Do I have to write every day?
No. Skipped pages are allowed. After a break you start on the next page, not from zero. Most days take three to five minutes.
Is it dated?
No, you write the dates yourself, so you can start on any day of the year.
Is it a therapy tool?
It is a self-reflection tool, not medical advice or a diagnostic tool. You can bring it to therapy, coaching or a support group - the patterns it collects make the conversation easier.
What is the difference between the three editions?
The interior and page layout are identical. Classic has quiet black-and-white pages; Pastel Rainbow a soft pastel palette; Calm Blue a cool blue tone.
