For many autistic individuals, masking – or adapting social behaviours to appear neurotypical – is a daily decision.This Meetup offers a safe and supportive space for professional autistic adults to explore the challenges and benefits of masking.
Location:
Autism Nz Resource Centre
20 Sydney Street · Lower Hutt
We'll discuss:
The impact of masking on mental health and well-being.
Strategies for navigating social situations when masking feels draining.
Finding a balance between authenticity and social comfort.
Creating work environments that are supportive of neurodiversity.
This is an open conversation, and all experiences are welcome.
Whether you choose to mask or not, join us for an honest and informative discussion about navigating the social world as an autistic adult.
