Happy World Autism Acceptance Week! To ‘mask’ means to disguise parts of oneself to better fit in with those around you. Autistic people who mask show more signs of anxiety and depression, so we must become educated on autism masking, create a safe space and be patient.

Looking forward to our OWL Prevention Mental Health Awareness event next Wednesday! Please promote to young people, and we welcome professionals and partners. #mentalhealthawarenessweek
