📣✒️ Check out this new article from Autistic provisional psychologist Mack Ash about Autistic masking.

This insightful article, intended as a primer for those new to the topic, explores what it can look like, the reasons it might happen, the impact it can have and how to reduce the negative consequences associated with masking.

It also touches on how not all Autistic people feel the term masking is accurate or reflective of their lived experience.

[ID: Against a blue background with Reframing Autism logo at the bottom left and knotwork in the bottom right, a white title reads 'Autistic masking can look like...'. Beneath, a list of text boxes with super hero mask bullet points read: 'Agreeing to requests even when feeling overwhelmed. Consciously not stimming or sharing information about SPINs. Making eye contact even when it feels uncomfortable. Smiling or laughing because it is socially expected. Not asking for accommodations or ignoring sensory discomfort.']

Note: SPINs, or “special interests”, are subjects or activities of enthusiastic interest

Slowing down with a rose latte at New City Coffee in Lake Mary. Look closer and notice the CTRL and Shift keys…mmm? Magnifying glass and tab…mmm? Matching the mood for sure. What do you need to take time to look at more closely? To shift? To move forward? May you find your time. May you find your space. May you find Grace. May you find “xara” (“joy”). May you find “xaírō” “(joy because of grace"). ♥️
