Talk Description: MY LAST SESSION FOR 2025 ✨ For many autistic people, “endings” , (whether it’s the end of a year, a relationship, a job, a routine, or even a TV show), can bring up intense emotional and physical responses. In this community conversation, we’ll explore why transitions feel so big for autistic brains, what closure actually means for us, and how to support ourselves during times of change. We’ll unpack the psychology behind intolerance of uncertainty, attachment to rhythm, emotional memory, and why we often replay moments long after they’re over. This is a gentle, validating space to connect and share 🌈 Session Goals & Outcomes: – Feel seen and validated by a supportive, like-minded community – Gain tools to navigate emotional regulation, self-esteem, and masking – Begin building a more authentic, self-compassionate identity – Reconnect with the parts of yourself that were never “too much”—just misunderstood 🎤 Facilitator Bio: Elena Carroll – Late-Diagnosed Autistic Advocate & Peer Facilitator Elena Carroll is a late-diagnosed autistic adult who spent years trying to “fit in” before learning to truly understand herself. Her diagnosis sparked a personal revolution—one that included identity healing, community-building, and redefining her own worth outside of societal expectations. Elena creates spaces that feel warm, real, and rooted in lived experience. Through her writing, social media presence, and now peer support groups, she’s helping others process their neurodivergent discovery journey and find strength through self-understanding. Elena recently relocated across continents and is currently working on her first book while continuing to build a life she once thought was out of reach.
