Autistic Self-care

Autistic Self-Care Ideas

Self-Care Practices by Autistic Self-Advocates

We are fortunate to have a team of self-advocates on the autism spectrum who can express what it’s like to be autistic through their written words. They candidly talk about their challenges and share ways they have learned to accept themselves and take care of their needs.

Read our top posts on the following topics: positive living, managing anxiety, sensory needs, self-improvement and self-esteem.
