Understanding Autistic Masking

Autistic masking refers to the conscious or subconscious effort by autistic people to suppress or conceal their natural characteristics and behaviors in order to align with neurotypical social expectations. This requires substantial mental and emotional energy, which can contribute to significant anxiety, burnout, and may result in delayed or misdiagnoses.

What Is an Adult Autism Assessment?

An adult autism assessment is a process used to determine whether an individual meets the criteria for Autism. 

Many adults seek assessments later in life after recognising lifelong patterns related to social communication, sensory sensitivity, and routine-focused thinking. 

A formal diagnosis can offer self-understanding, validation, and access to appropriate support and accommodations.
