1. High-Masking Autism & the Autistic Burnout Cycle
High-masking autistic adults are hiding in plain sight, but the energy we use to mask our autistic traits and support needs often leaves us trapped in the Autistic Burnout Cycle. We'll bust the most common myths surrounding high-masking autism and learn about the Autistic Burnout Cycle.2. The Brain is Part of its Environment
Our nervous systems are connected to and shaped by our physical and social environments. Diverse social issues intersect in our brains, including mental health, trauma, neurodiversity, invisible disability, and poverty. Discover how these connections influence mental health and well-being for everyone, with a special focus on autistic individuals.3. This is what Invisible Disability Looks Like
