High Functioning Autism (Why YOU Feel Guilty)
Do people assume you’re coping because you work, socialise, or seem “fine” on the outside? You might still be dealing with sensory overload, exhaustion, or the effort of masking. When others can’t see that effort, it can leave you feeling guilty for needing help.
In this episode, we explore why the label “high functioning autism” can miss what daily life feels like for some autistic adults. We talk about guilt around asking for support, taking breaks, or struggling with things other people expect you to manage.
If you’ve searched for high functioning autism or Asperger’s syndrome in adults, this conversation is for you. Your support needs can change from day to day, and you don’t have to prove you’re struggling before you ask for help.
