In this straight-talking and empowering episode, we break down three common mistakes autistic people often make every day—and how you can stop making them right now. These are habits that many in the autistic and Asperger’s community fall into without even realizing, often because of pressure from society to “fit in” or stay quiet. But it’s time to flip the script.
As an autistic adult myself, I know how overwhelming and exhausting life can feel sometimes. But here’s the truth: you deserve to self-advocate, set boundaries, and be unapologetically you. In this episode, we talk about:
✅ Why saying “sorry” for your autistic traits needs to stop
✅ How to stand your ground and skip uncomfortable social situations
✅ The importance of using your voice and expressing your needs
Plus, we’ll explore why autism self-advocacy is essential for mental health and everyday life—and how making these simple mindset shifts can lead to more confidence and peace of mind.
💬 Whether you’ve been diagnosed with autism or Asperger’s as an adult or you’ve known for years, this episode is for you. It’s real, relatable, and filled with tips you can use today.
