Let’s talk about masking. Masking is when someone copies the behaviours and manners of others, while hiding behaviours that might be seen as ‘different’. For example, an autistic person might hide sensory sensitivities at school to avoid being teased, which can mean they look ‘less autistic’ at school than at home. This can be exhausting for autistic people and can lead to poor mental health outcomes. Creating a non-judgmental space can help autistic people be their authentic selves. | Ambitious

Let’s talk about sensory joy. Sensory joy is when an autistic person experiences their senses, interests and emotions with intense joy. Today we are celebrating autistic joy and sharing what brings joy to autistic young people. We are also sharing how neurotypical people can help autistic people experience these feelings without feeling judged. What brings you sensory joy?

Let’s talk about eye contact. Eye contact is something many of us do without thinking twice, but for some people, especially autistic people, it’s not as simple. This World Autism Acceptance Month, let’s remember that understanding and respecting differences in communication is key to fostering a more inclusive world. | Ambitious about Autism

Let’s talk about autistic burnout. Navigating the world as an autistic person can be stressful, and when this stress gets too much, you might experience burnout. This can make everyday activities feel overwhelming. Giving autistic people time and space to relax, as well as taking the time to understand and accept autism can help prevent burnout happening. This is just one small change that can make a big difference. | Ambitious about Autism
