Safety & Belonging
Did you know that autistic masking causes suicide attempts? It doesn’t “correlate” with suicide attempts- it actually causes them (Cassidy, S., Bradley, L., Shaw, R., & Baron-Cohen, S., 2018). This is one life-saving reason to find places for your child be authentically autistic and loved for exactly who they are. Each Makerspace invites autistic children and families to find the “safety of one another” within authentic community. It’s a safe, accessible place for autistic children and families to set down their masks and belong.
