For high masking autistic folks who had to become hyperindependent to survive, our masks became our prisons.

In the past, I would’ve ground myself down to the bone by overcompensating to avoid being perceived as “disabled.”

“But how are your children going to learn if you withhold natural consequences from them?”

Many people with ADHD describe feeling like they are driven by a motor and a constant need to go, go, go.

So one of the biggest challenges we face as we unmask and heal from burn out, is the forces within ourselves that keep us small...

I read a statistic recently that 20-30% of people diagnosed with eating disorders are autistic.

Not only does mainstream culture mostly offer puzzle pieces and retreats for people “touched by autism” but good luck finding autism...

For most disabled parents including parents who are autistic/AuDHD/2e, etc, it is usually pretty clear what we need to support our wellbeing

When I am at my lowest points, I also wonder if I should have had kids. It can be a real struggle for me sometimes.

The Euro-Western world is obsessed with individualism and it is no surprise that therapy has become a tool....

All of the times that I felt I wasn’t good enough or professional enough, due to being (late-discovered) AuDHD, came rushing in.

When we see lists of autistic traits, they seem separate and unrelated to each other.

I am beyond thrilled to announce that My Autistic Therapist is growing and expanding into the membership world!

Unmasking and skill regression can look similar.

The most ironic thing about being autistic is that my autistic brain struggled with believing that I was autistic.

And yet, I feel like I don’t fully belong to either the allistic or autistic world 100%. I arrived late here...

Growing up as an (undiscovered) multiply neurodivergent person, I’ve always felt like I was missing key information.

The majority of 2e clients that come to see me have had very “successful” (according to allistic standards, anyway) careers

No one is the expert, we are both just live forms on a spinning planet trying to figure stuff out. It feels REAL.

So, what is neurodivergence-affirming therapy? For one, it is way more radical than you think.
