Autism is often thought of as a condition that mostly affects boys, but women and girls can be autistic too - it just isn’t always easy to spot 🧠. In fact, many females go undiagnosed for years or are misdiagnosed with conditions like anxiety or depression. Why? Because autism in girls often looks different from autism in boys. One big reason behind this is something called ‘masking,’ where girls consciously or unconsciously hide their autistic traits to fit in. While masking can help navigate social situations, it often comes at a significant cost to mental health and wellbeing. This article shines the spotlight 🔦 on a topic that deserves much more attention. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or just curious, we hope it deepens your understanding of autism and the challenges faced by women and girls ❤️. #Masking #MaskingAutism #AutisticGirls #Austism The National Autistic Society

Great news for some unpaid carers... The Budget, announced today, brings a positive change that acknowledges the hard work and dedication of some of those who support loved ones at home. Starting in April 2025, the earnings limit for Carer’s Allowance will rise from £151 to £196 per week. This means that more unpaid carers will be able to access to this benefit, which currently provides £81.90 each week. The Chancellor, Rt Hon Rachel Reeves, announced that the increase is expected to help around 60,000 additional carers claim the support they deserve by 2030. It's a much-needed boost for some carers. This is a step in the right direction towards supporting the incredible individuals who give so much of themselves to care for others. #budget2024 #budget24 #unpaidcarers #carers GOV.UK
