Exciting, ground
breaking, hugely important research.
Loved this:
‘The camouflaging cycle
The double binds of camouflaging make it hard for autistic people to break out of the camouflaging cycle. Camouflaging thus became a self-reinforcing loop..”

[@Autistic Realms @autisticrealms]

A hugely important research from @sicizhuang & team 🌟
We need “systemic change to create psychosocial environments where autistic individuals are accepted & emboldened to drop the mask, & to live & relate with others in more authentically autistic ways”

A wonderfully done, comprehensive and insightful synthesis of the literature to date about autistic camouflaging/masking. Just had a read - Highly recommended!

Beautiful essay in @AutismAdulthood -- "I am other, a monster among humans, but I only wish to live my strange life in peace, unmasked. I want to be seen as I am, but to not be hunted, shunned, and prosecuted for my existence."

We will be in touch in the next few weeks for the real, actual, planned follow-up study! Hoping Qualtrics won't take a live of its own again to send out invitations that we had deleted, as we need a little more time to finalise Ethics approval and the survey b4 getting in touch!

[Autistic Camouflaging & Burnout- UWA Research Team @CamouflageStudy]

To all our participants in last year's online camouflaging survey which explores the role of psychological and social factors in camouflaging - we have paused the Qualtrics follow-up survey sent today by mistake and have already emailed you all to explain and apologise for this.

[Autistic Camouflaging & Burnout- UWA Research Team @CamouflageStudy]

We will be in touch in the next couple of weeks with updates on what we have been doing and how we have been working on the earlier study, and with details about the follow-up, which we expect we will send out the proper invitation sometime in June 2022. Apologies & thanks!

[Autistic Camouflaging & Burnout- UWA Research Team @CamouflageStudy]

IMPORTANT- ALERT! To all our camouflaging study participants, if you received an email today inviting you to participate in our follow-up survey, please IGNORE that email and DO NOT complete the survey just yet! There was a technical error with Qualtrics 1/2

[Autistic Camouflaging & Burnout- UWA Research Team @CamouflageStudy]

which we have been trying to sort out all morning and the invitation was prematurely sent automatically! We have PAUSED the survey for now, so if you click on the link it won't take you to the survey. We will be sending out an email in a few minutes too.
