Question for other autistic people: There are still so many misconceptions and stigma surrounding autism. What’s one misconception about autism that you wish people would stop perpetuating or believing in?

If are autistic and a part of the lgbtq+ community, do you feel like being autistic has any sort of effect on how you view your sexuality and/or gender identity? 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Hello everyone! You may have noticed the recent relative inactivity of Autistics Unmasked’s social media accounts. Because AU has an all-volunteer team, we understand that the members of our team have other obligations that come first, on top of most of us being in a perpetual state of burnout, and it can be difficult to keep up with the demands of our organization. AU is also currently running on zero funding, making it harder to achieve the aspirations of the organization.

Because of these things, Autistics Unmasked has been at a standstill, and we have decided on an official indefinite hiatus of AU. During this time we will still be searching for funding and accepting donations to help kickstart new projects, pay our current team for their hard work, and eventually onboard new members. Thank you for your support of Autistics Unmasked thus far! We wouldn’t be where we are today without this incredible community. If you would like to support our fundraising efforts, our Gofundme page will be linked below.
