There are two powerful new movements sweeping through mainstream culture that are going to have a massive impact on the way society views autism. It all has to do with a culture of consent and traumainformed care. But what does that mean for us? Taking ideas around consent and trauma seriously could benefit everyone because if an adjustment is good for autistic people, it’s probably good for everyone else, too. In this video, we break down the powerful concepts of the Culture of Consent and TraumaInformed Care, explain why saying no and creating safe environments to avoid triggers are essential, and show how adopting these adjustments can benefit everyone.

Welcome to Autism From The Inside!!!

If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you!
I'm Paul Micallef, and I discovered my own autism at age 30.

Yes, I know, I don't look autistic. That's exactly why I started this channel in the first place because if I didn't show you, you would never know.

Autism affects many (if not all!) aspects of our lives, so on this channel, I want to show you what Autism looks like in real people and give you some insight into what's happening for us on the inside. We'll break down myths and misconceptions, discuss how to embrace autism and live well, and share what it's like to be an autistic person.

Join me as I share what I've found along my journey, so you don't have to learn it the hard way.

Make sure to subscribe so you won’t miss my new video every Friday and some bonus content thrown in midweek too.
