Does any of this feel familiar?

Many autistic adults recognize the patterns below later in life. What’s less talked about is why it can be so hard to interpret them.

Highlights

Below is a selection of articles from our autism blog.
Have a read to get a taste of the content we offer!

Alexithymia

Alexithymia or emotional blindness is so common among autistics (40–70%) that it’s commonly mistaken for autism itself. Find out what alexithymia is and how it presents itself in autism.

Overwhelm

Autistic people can get overwhelmed at times. In the article below, Eva describes her experience of 3 types
of overwhelm relating to autism:
a sensory overload, a meltdown,
and a shutdown.

Meltdowns

To remain regulated and functioning, we need to be able to dissipate stress. When this is not done effectively, it can have an explosive result, leading to a meltdown or a (consequent) shutdown.

Land acknowledgement

Embrace Autism recognizes and acknowledges the traditional lands of the Indigenous peoples across Ontario. From the lands of the Anishinaabe to the Attawandaron and Haudenosaunee, these lands surrounding the Great Lakes are steeped in First Nations history.

We are in solidarity with Indigenous brothers and sisters to honour and respect Mother Earth. We acknowledge and give gratitude for the wisdom of the Grandfathers and the four winds that carry the spirits of our ancestors that walked this land before us.

Embrace Autism is located on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We acknowledge and thank the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation—the Treaty holders—for being stewards of this traditional territory.
