This survey on what it's like to hide parts of your identity is still open - particularly keen to hear from trans people who are not autistic please! But also open to: trans + autistic people cis + autistic people Link for full info and the survey itself is tinyurl.com/3jrfkate
This image is a recruitment advertisement for a survey study about gender identity and masking. It contains images of two people holding the trans pride flag and a QR code. The text on the advertisement states ‘participate in our survey and tell us about your experience of hiding your identity. To access the survey or learn more about the study please use the QR code below or follow this link. The link is https://tinyurl.com/3jrfkate. The main researcher for this project is Mark Somerville, a PhD student at the University of Edinburgh.

If your child was recently diagnosed as autistic, please know that most problems you encounter will be due to lack of understanding & accommodation about autism from other people, and society in general—not because of autism. We have specific advice, at TPGA: thinkingautismguide.com/2025/09/afte...

The points being made here about diagnosis and support are so true. That’s why those of us trusted to work in identification services within current assessment frameworks need to be so alert to the variety of autistic experiences

This is fascinating on monotropism, sleep and closing loops. Every time we read something new about the impacts of monotropism it’s like another light has gone on! 💡

I'm excited to be leading a workshop on Cavendish Space this evening, which I created with @stimpunks.org Cavendish Space isn’t about “fixing” people. Through campfires, watering holes, and caves, we learn that wellbeing is relational, sensory, and collective. stimpunks.org/glossary/cav...
A slide titled “Building Neurodivergent Cultures of Regulation through Cavendish Space.” The background shows a campfire burning in a forest at night. Large text reads “Cavendish Space.” Below are three panels: “Campfire” with an image of a fire and the words “Shared meaning and orientation, storytelling and framing, collective understanding, low-demand presence”; “Watering Hole” with elephants at water and the words “Social connection and co-regulation, conversation and exchange, body doubling, neurodivergent love languages”; and “Cave” with a person in a mountain cave and the words “Solitude and sensory regulation, quiet, rest, focus, withdrawal and safety, sensory autonomy.” At the bottom, text reads: “Cavendish Space is inspired by primordial human patterns of learning and relating. Neurodivergent people often need movement between all these different spaces to be regulated and creative.” Logos for Autistic Realms and Stimpunks appear in the corner.

Late diagnosis for Black autistic women often means years of being mislabeled: “difficult,” “dramatic,” “lazy,” or “too sensitive.” When racism and ableism overlap, our needs are dismissed as character flaws 👌🏽

Pebble Autism @pebbleautism.bsky.social · 10/02/2026
This. The over-functioning that is often expected of women, with the added layer of sprinting to keep up that society forces on black women.
041
Pebble Autism @pebbleautism.bsky.social · 10/02/2026
Absolutely this. And because society rewards it, over functioning is often not considered to be harmful, especially among women.

I had to check the date on this article because it could’ve been written 10 years ago. Explanations of gender discrepancies in identification have been around for some time. And yet, lots of parents of girls & female clients seek us out doubting other services will recognise they are autistic
