On the back of my late diagnosis at age 45, I totally recognise my social masking for what it is, and the need for it, and today I adopt what I refer to as ‘strategic masking’ lnkd.in/eTyWc-xb #autistic #autism #latediagnosed #latediagnosis #socialmasking @Autism

Read our #Autism stories, hear our voices. Each story is unique, yet we share so many experiences in the way that society has treated us. Behaviours that are accepted until the status quo is challenged #autisticadult #latediagnosis #lostgirl

Great to see Chris Packham & the BBC raising more awareness & giving focus to social masking & women/girls with #Autism. I wrote this blog last week about my own social masking as an Autistic survival strategy lnkd.in/eZPcpmmD #autismawareness #latediagnosis #lostgirl

Today I’ve had the privilege of raising awareness of the #lostgirls, those like myself who are #latediagnosed #autistic and needed their truth much earlier. Thank you to my client Network Rail for the invite and speaking opportunity, and to Doncaster Chamber Women in Business

Most definitely @ruthsmckay! Our family were all ‘missed’ by well over 100 (not autism aware/alert) health, #socialcare, and #educational professionals. We self/parent-identified, all diagnosed a year later, 3 diagnoses. I was age 45! #insideourautisticminds
I was going to say that if you are in education you should watch this, but the reality is that if you’re a human being you should watch this.
Brilliant, moving and important work from @ChrisGPackham and team.

Social masking is exhausting. It’s why many #Autistics need a lot of solitude to decompress. It’s one of the reasons I was missed for 45 years. I’ve done it for so long I even mask in my dreams. It is unconsciously me. #InsideAutisticMinds @joemyerscough @BBCTwo @ChrisGPackham

I wrote an article about Autism and loneliness for The Independent/ @IndyVoices! It was inspired by @ChrisGPackham’s fantastic BBC2 documentary, ‘Inside Our Autistic Minds’.
I hope you find my words comforting. ❤️

Looking forward to more #insideourautisticminds @joemyerscough @BBCTwo will you be featuring any successful #Autistic business owners. Successful both in spite of and because of their #autism?
