Autism and Shame – Are you damaging your relationships?

Autism and Shame - Are you damaging your relationships? - YouTube


As an autistic person, have you ever heard a voice at the back of your mind saying that you are a mistake or that you are not worthy of love, inclusion, acceptance, etc? If this ever occurs to you, that might be “shame” speaking. Shame has a huge effect on our lives. Shame prevents us, autistic people, from looking into ourselves in an objective way. In this video, I share how badly shame affects our perception of ourselves, decision-making, beliefs, and even our relationship with other people.
