What does it mean to affirm someone’s identity?

Here’s Andrew talking about the importance of affirming autistic identity and supporting people who might be masking.

Andrew has been a dedicated member of our community since 2019. He served as a moderator in our online Global Autism Community, contributed to our Responsive Skills Training, and traveled on two SkillCorps® volunteer trips, first to the Czech Republic and later to Kenya.

Welcome to Autism Tips & Tools, where we highlight the best practical guidance from previous episodes of Autism Knows No Borders. Whether you’re a self-advocate, a family member, or a service provider, there’s something here for you!
