For #AutismAcceptanceMonth today we are talking about autism and our mental health. Alexithymia, the impact of a late diagnosis, and imposter syndrome are all important topics. Raising awareness of them can help other #ActuallyAutistic people know that they are not alone!

Today is the last day of #AutismAcceptanceMonth 2023. As we’ve said all month, autism presents in a lot of different ways. The #ActuallyAutistic community is wonderfully diverse, so here are some other voices! (N.B. The creators usernames are taken from Instagram).
