In this special Autism Infocast for autistic people, you’ll learn about a life-changing way to live a happier, more authentic life. We explain all the hidden costs of constantly adapting to other people’s expectations, exploring why many feel like they're ‘playing a part’ rather than truly living. You’ll learn how and why this constant ‘masking’ effort leads to exhaustion, anxiety, and autistic burnouts, and we'll explain lots of clear, practical ways you can reclaiming your unique strengths, have more genuine connections with other people, and feel the immense relief that comes from being your real self! This podcast is all about finding freedom, value, and joy by simply embracing who you are rather than hiding behind an absolutely exhausting mask all the time.
