In this week’s episode of Aces Up Your Sleeve, we are exploring the complexities of “coming out” as autistic, with a focus on the decision-making process regarding disclosure to family and medical professionals. We take the nuances of family dynamics into consideration and examine the potential risks and benefits of sharing your neurotype, as well as the importance of finding supportive medical providers! Listen to learn why we prioritize self-advocacy, safety, and the significance of community support for autistic folks.
On Upping the Ante, our free exclusive Patreon bonus content, we’re answering whether or not you should tell a child they’re autistic and, if so, how and when to do that. We also share more about our own self-disclosure and how we navigate that with professionals, colleagues, and others in our lives. Check it out in the Upping the Ante collection here on Patreon!
