Autism & Mental Health in Teens 🧠
School can be loud.
Social rules are confusing.
Masking all day is exhausting.
And by the time you get home, you’re done.

Being autistic in a world that isn’t always built for you can be exhausting, and that can affect your mental health.

👉 Save this for hard days
👉 Share it with someone who needs to hear it
👉 Comment 💛 if this feels relatable

Are you autistic, or do you buy food for an autistic person? We would love to hear from you.

We are running a short survey to understand what matters most to autistic people when buying and eating food. Your insight will help shape future corporate partnerships, so we work with brands, products and services that truly reflect the needs and interests of our community.

The survey takes around 10 minutes, is completely anonymous and closes on 23 February: bit.ly/3MbyQYa

Such a lovely and affirming visual by littlepuddins.ie, showing examples of autistic self care. What most people think of 'the usual' self care (i.e.neurotypical) often looks different.

I love this visual because it captures how differences show up in what we need to feel safe, rested, and well. And differences are simply that...nothing to judge or criticise, just an acknowledgement that people experience the world in different ways and that is okay!
