Autistic Masking and Identity, with Terra Vance | Autism Tips & Tools
How does masking affect autistic mental health and well-being?
Terra Vance shares her ideas about autistic masking and identity. Terra is an Autistic Self-Advocate and the Founder of NeuroClastic, an autistic-led non-profit organization that publishes articles by autistic writers and professionals advocating for autistic representation and human rights.
The following clip is from a roundtable discussion with our Global Autism Community where Autistic self-advocates shared their experiences with masking, the emotional toll it takes, and the journey towards authenticity.
Welcome to Autism Tips & Tools, where we highlight the best practical guidance from previous episodes of Autism Knows No Borders. Whether you’re a self-advocate, a family member, or a service provider, there’s something here for you!
This conversation with our Global Autism Community was originally released on December 9, 2021.
