In our second mini-lecture, we talk about camouflaging and masking in autism. We are working on a comprehensive post on camouflaging as well, but for now, enjoy our talk:

Supplementary material

In our talk, we refer to the social camouflaging model represented by the diagram below, which is from a research paper from 2018 by Laura Hull et al.[1]Development and Validation of the Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q) In our post on camouflaging we will discuss this more in-depth.

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.
