Masking, Burnout, Self-Care, and Self-Advocacy? What do all these things have in common? How can I be my authentic self AND be socially successful at the same time?

This webinar is for those who want to:
-Take off the mask
-Be your authentic self -use less energy (especially in social interactions)
-AND avoid rejection and social isolation!

Learning to take off the mask can sometimes feel like a daunting prospect, especially if you've been high-masking for decades. In this webinar, we walk together step-by-step through the unmasking process breaking it down into clear milestones and manageable stages. All the way from the first tentative baby steps, to fully fledged confident autistic identity. So whether you're at the beginning of your journey, not even sure what masking is or how it applies to you, or you're a veteran adventurer looking for advanced self-advocacy strategies, this webinar is for you!

What is the Autism Spectrum? 

Last week, SciShow made an attempt to answer this question in their video of the same name. The video took an evidence-based approach to Autism and aimed to be inclusive. However, what does the Autism Spectrum mean to people who are actually autistic? The reactions are mixed. In this video, I'll share a compilation of opinions from our Autism from the Inside Community, highlighting both positive and negative perspectives.

Can therapy be bad for you? I’ve heard of less-than-positive experiences when people sought help from mental health professionals. However, I believe the exception proves the rule. If we find a therapist who manages to avoid these common mistakes and provides a positive experience, they are exceptional. These are the therapists who could truly help us. What if this becomes the standard not only for mental health professionals? In this video, I will share the most common mistakes that therapists make (which can make therapy bad for you) and how to spot a good therapist who can truly help you.

🌟SHOULD YOU CHANGE YOURSELF FOR OTHERS?🌟

The live premiere is tomorrow at 8:30am AEDT 🎥 

Should you change yourself for others? 

First, ask yourself, “How much am I willing to change for this person?” and “How much am I expecting in return?” 

If being considerate seems right after answering these questions, then it's fair to expect others to be considerate of you too. This is because, very often, the burden of change and accommodation is put onto the autistic person. It's good to accommodate others, but remember not to overlook your own needs because we could be chronically undervaluing our own needs when we build the habit of accommodating other people’s needs without asking them to accommodate ours. 

In this video, I will share how we could find that balance so that we could establish boundaries and expectations and answer the question “How much should I change for others?”

🌟CAN ROUTINES HELP WITH SELF-REGULATION?🌟

The live premiere is tomorrow at 8:30am AEDT 🎥 

Is routine good for autism? It’s a stereotype that autistic people overly rely on routines. The diagnostic criteria for autism even has a section for restrictive and repetitive behavior. However, what exactly is a routine and how can we leverage the benefits of a good routine? In this video, I will share how behavior and routine might really be a effective emotional self-regulation strategy.

🌟DO YOU HAVE ANXIETY?🌟

The live premiere is tomorrow at 8:30am AEDT 🎥 

My focus is on managing my own body and emotions. So, the distinction between what anxiety means for me versus another person isn't personally important for me in this situation. My goal is to identify what I'm feeling for myself so that I can recognize it when it occurs and develop self-awareness around questions such as: How long does it last? What intensity does it have? When am I likely to feel it? What does it mean? What does it do?
