You're not just shy or broken; you're a neurodivergent event vampire. You thirst for connection and thrive on energy, but the social scene can be daunting without an invitation. When the lights are blinding, the crowd's pace is overwhelming, and you're expected to wear a façade, one casual "How's it going?" can tip you into a meltdown. Introducing Event Vampire Survival Guide, the electrifying third entry in the Vampire Communication Trilogy by Stings Custom. Building on the success of the acclaimed Bad at Flirting (Please Be Blunt) and Event Vampire: Invite Me, this guide shifts focus from dating and friendships to mastering event survival for those who are autistic, have ADHD, or are uniquely wired. This book empowers you to show up, thrive, and truly belong. Whether you're gearing up for Wasteland Weekend, Neotropolis, a Ren Faire, comic con, kink night, Pride, or a casual backyard bonfire, this guide equips you with strategies to attend without pretending to be neurotypical. Learn to: - Pack essentials for your mind, not just the weather - Employ scripts and graceful exits when words fail - Signal discreetly for help, breaks, or space - Recharge in bathrooms, hallways, or car seats - Establish social boundaries guilt-free - Interpret consent, energy shifts, and social cues - Decide when to stay, when to leave, and why both are valid Plus, enjoy a few blank pages at the back for notes, stims, or doodles—perfect when your gear falters, but your mind craves activity. Just remember your pencil. This isn’t about fitting in; it’s about being authentically you, without the burnout or the urge to bail. Ideal for readers who: - Relished Bad at Flirting and Invite Me - Long to navigate big events without shutting down - Are rediscovering socialization on their own terms - Seek practical ND strategies for social situations - Desire community, connection, and clarity, minus the meltdowns If you've ever lingered on the fringes, waited for an invitation, or vanished because you couldn’t articulate your overwhelm—this book is your beacon. You're not "too much" or "bad at people." You just needed the right survival guide. Now, it's in your hands.
