Auticate with Chris & Debby

New video tomorrow!! This time, we're sharing 5 Things Every Autistic Kid Wishes Parents Knew. This one stemmed from talking about things many late-identified autistic and AuDHD adults (including Chris) often say they wish people knew long ago – especially their parents.

👉 So this week, we'd like to know: Who were/are the adults in your life that you wish had better understood autism or AuDHD earlier?

And even though we haven't focused many of our videos on kids yet, they're a huge reason we started this channel: we're hoping that by sharing more research and lived experiences, it can help with better understanding for all autistic and AuDHD individuals (big and small) and lead to a more positive future for all of us here. ❤️

The video launches at the usual time on Friday (12:30pm EST) – and after you're done watching, comment to let us know which points hit for you and what you'd add to the list!

We've got a new video on the way this week, and this time we're talking about the hidden physical toll of masking autism. We've talked about masking and unmasking in other videos, but this time we're diving into 5 physical signs you might be masking autism more than you realize. (And they're often pretty sneaky.)

So have you noticed the physical impacts of masking? 👇

The video launches at the usual time on Friday (12:30pm EST) – and after you're done watching, comment to let us know which signs you've experienced and what you'd add to the list!

We're baaaaack 🥳 with a new video on the way!
This time we've got some autistic behaviors that everyone seems to get wrong... and sometimes these interpretations get us in some trouble.
So this week let's hear from you: Do you feel like your reactions or behaviors related to autism are misunderstood by everyone else?
👉 For example: Not having the "right" reaction to what someone says... at that exact moment (and other people thinking you're rude or insensitive)

The video will launch at the usual time on Friday (12:30pm EST) – and after you're done watching, comment to let us know which behaviors you recognize and/or others you'd add to the list!

Hope you've had a great couple weeks 🙂 see you soon!

Auticate with Chris & Debby

Almost time for a new video 🙌
We'll be sharing a topic that Debby and I have discussed a lot together: "Odd" Autistic Behaviors (that Me and Other Autistic People Thought Were "Normal").
So this week we'd like to know: When you started learning about autism or neurodivergence (for yourself or someone else), was it linked to unique behaviors that happen to be more common for autistic and AuDHD people?
👉 For example: Specifically choosing to eat the same foods on repeat for months (or years)

The video will launch at the usual time on Friday (12:30pm EST) – and after you're done watching, please comment to let us know which behaviors you recognize and/or others you'd add to the list!

Thanks for being here!! Hope your week has been awesome 🙂

The video will launch at the usual time on Friday (12:30pm EST). After watching, let us know in the video comments about your own experiences too 👀

Hope you've had a great week and thanks for being here ❤️
