Pros and cons of autism disclosure

Join our host, Madeleine Lobsey as she chats with Dr Chris Edwards and Dr Abbey Love from the Aspect Research Centre for Autism Practice (ARCAP) to explore the pros and cons of autism disclosure and what society can do to reduce the challenges and risks associated with disclosure.  . We will also hear how sharing being Autistic can lead to acceptance and authenticity, but also to stigma and discrimination.

This episode is a must-listen for Autistic people faced with the often-complicated decision of when, where and how to disclose they are Autistic. Non-Autistic listeners will gain insights into how they can assist in creating spaces where Autistic individuals feel safe and supported to consider disclosing they are Autistic.
