@HopeVirgo I use these for my Autistic son, as Autistics tend to have sensitive gums and often dislike teeth being brushed. He’s got in well with these https://t.co/nDtJoywJQU

Thank you to @IndiaSturgis and the Daily Mail for covering our Autism journey in the hope that it raises awareness @Autism @amandaprexpert https://t.co/8qw6ovZ7Le #anxietydisorders #autism #latediagnosis #autistic #lostgirls #misdiagnosis #adultautism

On the back of my late diagnosis at age 45, I totally recognise my social masking for what it is, and the need for it, and today I adopt what I refer to as ‘strategic masking’ https://t.co/QK0eyifiix #autistic #autism #latediagnosed #latediagnosis #socialmasking @Autism

If a normal doesn't exist, then what am I socially masking? https://t.co/GQXvzU7XX3 #autism #autismawareness #autistic #autisticadults #socialmasking #masking #latediagnosis #normal #lostgirl

Read our #Autism stories, hear our voices. Each story is unique, yet we share so many experiences in the way that society has treated us. Behaviours that are accepted until the status quo is challenged #autisticadult #latediagnosis #lostgirl

We've been working with the BBC for tonight's documentary 'Christine McGuinness: Unmasking My Autism'.

The show which airs on @BBCOne tonight at 9pm, explores the challenges autistic women & girls face including anxiety, sensory issues, stigma & masking. https://t.co/KLeczbxfbk

Great to see Chris Packham & the BBC raising more awareness & giving focus to social masking & women/girls with #Autism. I wrote this blog last week about my own social masking as an Autistic survival strategy https://t.co/Srx6XL0Ibw #autismawareness #latediagnosis #lostgirl

Today I’ve had the privilege of raising awareness of the #lostgirls, those like myself who are #latediagnosed #autistic and needed their truth much earlier. Thank you to my client Network Rail for the invite and speaking opportunity, and to Doncaster Chamber Women in Business

[Jane McNeice @Umbrella_Picker]

Most definitely @ruthsmckay! Our family were all ‘missed’ by well over 100 (not autism aware/alert) health, #socialcare, and #educational professionals. We self/parent-identified, all diagnosed a year later, 3 diagnoses. I was age 45! #insideourautisticminds

[Jane McNeice @Umbrella_Picker]

Social masking is exhausting. It’s why many #Autistics need a lot of solitude to decompress. It’s one of the reasons I was missed for 45 years. I’ve done it for so long I even mask in my dreams. It is unconsciously me. #InsideAutisticMinds @joemyerscough @BBCTwo @ChrisGPackham

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

I wrote an article about Autism and loneliness for The Independent/ @IndyVoices! It was inspired by @ChrisGPackham’s fantastic BBC2 documentary, ‘Inside Our Autistic Minds’.

I hope you find my words comforting. ❤️
