Autism Knows No Borders

Autistic Burnout | Part 1 with Terra Vance and Kate Jones | TBT


Listen Later

Discover what’s possible when you love someone as they are.

Have you ever experienced burnout and anxiety? Do you feel exhausted from having to constantly mask in social situations.

Terra Vance is the Founder of NeuroClastic, an autistic-led non-profit organization that publishes articles by autistic writers and professionals advocating for autistic representation and human rights. Kate Jones is an artist and visual designer at NeuroClastic.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • NeuroClastic’s mission
  • Being diagnosed later in life and growing up without proper support
  • Autistic burnout and anxiety
  • Why saying someone is “high-functioning” or “low-functioning” doesn’t describe what’s really happening
  • The medical vs social models of disability
  • The consequences of masking
  • A piece of art by Kate that describes the autistic experience when heavy demands are placed, and an alternative piece that displays permissions and positive affirmations
  • To learn more about Terra, Kate, and NeuroClastic, please visit neuroclastic.com

    This episode is part one of my conversation with Terra Vance & Kate Jones, which was originally released on October 7, 2021.
