We ? It ' s not a football team . <| sep |> I medicate before such an event a simple Tylenol Allergy 1 Excedrin 2 mix as a preventive measure to assure a splitting headache will not ruin the event for me . It also helps me relax the allergy meds would normally put me to sleep . I keep extra meds with me always , just in case . I ' ve learned never to be without them because when the headache starts , it ' s pretty close to too late to do anything about it . I ' m sharing this , because it ' s not normal to have to take headache meds before a party . It ' s not normal to have meds with you all the time just in case . ASD requires a certain awareness and coping that has to be learned . The goal is to cope in such a manner that situations that would normally cause a meltdown can be handled as gracefully as possible .
