Unlocking the Power of Self-Care: A Guide for Autistic Adults
For autistic adults, self-care plays a crucial role in managing the unique challenges of life on the spectrum. By prioritizing self-care, autistic individuals can improve their mental health, enhance daily functioning and build resilience against stress and sensory overload.
However, self-care isn't always straightforward for autistic adults. Sensory sensitivities, executive functioning difficulties and social expectations can make implementing and maintaining self-care routines more challenging. Overwhelm from day-to-day demands or a lack of accessible resources may also hinder efforts to practice self-care effectively.
Despite these barriers, self-care can become an empowering tool for autistic adults with thoughtful planning and individualized approaches. By addressing these challenges head-on and finding strategies that work, self-care can support emotional well-being, strengthen independence and lead to a more positive and sustainable quality of life.

Autism in Adult Women: Why We’re Underdiagnosed and Undersupported
When you think of autism, who do you picture? Many people may envision a young boy—maybe he’s fixated on toys like model trains or rocking back and forth to stim. But what about a little girl playing out the same scenes with her dolls on a loop or a woman constantly playing with her hair?
There’s a reason these images don’t come to mind for many—men and boys are around 3 to 4 times more likely to be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder than women and girls. This isn’t because of sex-based neurobiological differences, or at least not fully. Most researchers and advocates recognize that autism presents differently in women and girls than in men and boys. Autistic women are underdiagnosed because traditional models don’t recognize their traits as autistic, leaving huge gaps in support for autistic adult women and in broader awareness of their experiences.

Navigating Love: A Guide to Dating Someone with Autism
Romantic relationships are complex and deeply rewarding, offering connection, intimacy and growth. When autism is part of the dynamic, relationships bring unique opportunities to explore love through the lens of neurodiversity.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) influences how people process the world, communicate, and connect with others. Understanding autism is essential for a healthy relationship. Awareness of neurodivergence can help partners move beyond stereotypes and build relationships rooted in acceptance and authenticity. When partners take time to understand autism, they’re better equipped to create a supportive, inclusive space.
Dating someone with autism means celebrating a relationship shaped by honesty, loyalty and unique ways of connecting. It also requires both partners to understand the impact of autism on their relationship and to foster mutual respect and empathy.
Read on to learn about challenges you may face dating an autistic partner, the perks of dating someone who’s autistic, how to make your relationship thrive and more.
