Low-friction routines, variable attention or energy, predictability and restart-friendly design. Pressure can narrow attention and turn a passing thought into a verdict. Context still matters: time, safety, health, relationships and material resources cannot be replaced by a reflective exercise.
Why a pause may help
The first cited source is used for the definition or context behind “Ataraxia for autistic people: predictable, low-pressure practice”; it supports a bounded reading rather than a prediction about one person. [1]

Ataraxia in practice
Put “Ataraxia for autistic people” into one concrete sequence
Situation. Someone notices the issue described by “Ataraxia for autistic people: predictable, low-pressure practice” during an ordinary day. The relevant context is low-friction routines, variable attention or energy, predictability and restart-friendly design.
