I recently had an article published about bullying and autism. Having already had an article about masking published by Stylist, I knew that not everyone would be so understanding. So, I decided to avoid the comment section.
However, a few days later, I realised that if I’m trying to encourage more autistic people to speak out to (hopefully) build awareness and understanding, I need to stop hiding from things like this.
So, in this episode, I went through the comments and responded to some of them on this podcast. There were 172 in total, so it was impossible to address them all, but many were along the same lines anyway.
