Congrats to @Enhance_Lab_UC members for their fantastic posters and 3MT presentations today at the @owerkocentre conference! #proudsupervisormoment

[Dr. Carly McMorris @CarlyMcMorris]

This was a fantastic event held in partnership with our autistic youth participants, like Kyla (11 years old), who shared their artwork that represented their experiences with social masking (shared with permission). Thanks to
@StephanieHowe1
for her leadership on this project!

[Dr. Carly McMorris @CarlyMcMorris]

This will be an amazing webinar series! Come here @Enhance_Lab_UC member @StephanieHowe1 talk about our work on risk assessment tools to assess for suicidality in people with FASD.

@Hannah_Morton9 @CarlyMcMorris @Enhance_Lab_UC @lauralhull @SedgewickF It was great getting to chat with you Hannah! I agree that there is much to be done for youth camouflaging! Excited to see what comes next.

[Dr. Carly McMorris @CarlyMcMorris]

A fantastic time at #INSAR2023 in Sweden! A highlight was seeing @Enhance_Lab_UC's @StephanieHowe1 present her poster on camouflaging in autistic children and youth using photo elicitation + interviews. Such important work with a fantastic team @lauralhull @SedgewickF

Today the @Enhance_Lab_UC had our first (of many) student appreciation pizza lunches, where undergrads, graduate students and postdocs came together to celebrate successes, ask questions, and support each other! I love my job #Proudmentor

[Society for Autism Support and Services @Autism_SASS]

STA is supporting research regarding camouflaging in autistic children! Kids participate in 2 virtual meetings, 1 individual interview & take photos at home related to camouflaging & autism identity. Be creative & enhance understanding of your experiences. Connect by Fri. Jun 10

[Stephanie Howe @StephanieHowe1]

While we are starting to learn more about camouflaging in adults with autism, we do not yet know whether children and youth with autism camouflage and what this may look like. Help us understand camouflaging in autistic children and youth!

[Stephanie Howe @StephanieHowe1]

I am still looking for families to participate in the ENHANCE Lab's new research study, 'Understanding Camouflaging and Identity in Autistic Children and Youth Using Photovoice'.
Find out more about the study and how you can register at the link below!

[Stephanie Howe @StephanieHowe1]

Some people with autism may feel that they need to 'mask' or hide their autism traits to be accepted and form relationships with non-autistic people. This is what we call 'camouflaging'.

[Stephanie Howe @StephanieHowe1]

Past research has found that camouflaging in adults with autism is related to an increased risk for mental health concerns, late or missed autism diagnosis, and a lack of support.

[Dr. Carly McMorris @CarlyMcMorris]

Still time to register for our free virtual webinar on Monday May 16th @ 4PM MST on camouflaging in autistic youth. Register at https://t.co/EzEbXtZMka.
