'Passive #masking' means the #autistic person avoids saying or doing anything that might draw #attention to themselves. This type of masking can cause an autistic person to feel extremely #isolated. They might feel that nobody really knows them. thegirlwiththecurlyhair.co.uk/2022/05/15/3-t…

Did you know that kids with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) can feel anxious about meeting their own expectations? They therefore tend to be perfectionistic and often redo tasks because the results weren't perfect the first time.

Autistic people may not always say yes to social invitations, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want to receive them. Many of us can’t say yes to all (or even most) things due to sensory, energy, and executive function related challenges, yet like to have the option and be included.
