This week’s episode is a recording of one of our Global Autism Community exclusive events. 

The topic of this roundtable discussion was Masking and Authenticity. Participating in this event were autism self-advocates Thomas Iland, Michael Gilberg, Terra Vance, Kate Jones, Jeff Snyder, and David Sharif, as well as community members Colleen Dorsey, Danielle Terrell, and Kia Burton. 

In today’s conversation, we discuss:

  • What masking means to different people and its potential dangers
