Autistic masking is the hidden effort many autistic people make to fit into a world that isn't always designed for them. Learn what masking is, why it happens, how it affects mental health, and how parents and teachers can create environments where children feel safe to be themselves.
Transitions that seem small to adults can feel enormous to an autistic child. Learn why changes in activities, routines, environments, and expectations can be difficult—and discover practical ways parents and teachers can make transitions calmer, clearer, and more predictable.
