Wondering how to let people know you're autistic without having to make a big announcement or use the word “autistic” at all? Whether you're testing the waters, protecting your privacy, or just not ready for a formal disclosure, this video is for you.

In this livestream, I’ll walk you through low-pressure ways to communicate your needs, advocate for accommodations, and share your neurotype through language that feels safe, true, and authentic to YOU. These subtle signals and phrases can open the door to deeper understanding—without putting you on the spot.

✨ We’ll cover:
– Everyday phrases that hint at your neurotype
– How to describe sensory needs, social fatigue, and routines without labels
– Scripts for workplace, friendships, and dating
– Why some people prefer indirect disclosure—and why that’s okay

Whether you're newly diagnosed, late-diagnosed, self-diagnosed, or just exploring, this video offers empowering tools to express your truth on your own terms.

This was originally shared as a members-only livestream that I'm making public because it feels especially important right now.
