Many of us men have bad days “in our own heads,” overthinking and analyzing less-than-ideal situations regarding money, romance and other matters. We muddle through head-pounding self-induced negativity, bordering on despair, which aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs won’t help.

In my career as a clinical service provider for Autistic young adults, I have seen how understanding the senses can impact one’s emotions. It is so important to be aware of how Autistic people learn, communicate, and think with all of their senses. Recently, The DSM-5TR has included “sensory symptoms” in the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. In other words, it is a sensitivity to sounds, sights, smells, tastes, and textures (Patil & Kaple, 2023). There are many questions I urge clinicians, therapists, and multiple mental health service providers to consider relating to this when they work with Autistic People.

If there’s one benefit from having struggled with weight in my childhood, it’s that by age 11, I’d been forced to embrace healthy eating and daily walks or bike rides. What most of us didn’t understand in the 1980s and ’90s is what we’re finally accepting today: Contrary to traditional belief, having a fuller body type is often not due to laziness or a lack of discipline. For many of us, it’s genetic and scientific. That’s one reason an estimated 16 million Americans are benefiting from the injectable diabetes medications, like GLP-1 agonists, that have exploded onto the weight loss market.
