Philip King-Lowe
Be sure to listen to Today’s Autistic Moment on May 21st with my guest Eric Garcia as we will be talking about Unmasking Your Authentic Autistic Self.
Eric Garcia
There are so many incentives to mask. Whether it is pleasing other people. Whether it's being whether it's avoiding punishment. Whether it is gaining approval from our peers. Unmasking is, it comes through community, I think in a lot of ways. Yes, yes, yes, it comes big time through community. And it comes through other people affirming that these things that we thought were bad or made us kind of where we thought we were failures as humans. It comes to unlearning that and realizing no, this is a very common thing.
