Neurodivergent people, what alternative ways have you found to regulate/heal your nervous system?

I'm curious about ways you don't typically find on lists (such as deep breathing, traditional meditation, traditional yoga, therapy, or social time).

For me, I've found some help with yoga nidra, looking around to tell my brain I'm safe, havening (link about that below), or humming a gentle tune.

But maybe people have discovered other techniques that help them?

Or maybe you have a particular success journey you'd like to share?

These impacts start very early, before kindergarten. But no one mentions that when they try to make gifted PreK sound preposterous.
