Wearing Our Masks All Year:
Autistic and ADHD Masking Isn’t Just for Halloween

Thursday, Oct 22, 2026, 6:30pm-8:30pm

Tara will present on Autistic and ADHD masking: what masking looks like, why Autistic and ADHD people mask, how it affects them, and how to support someone who is working on unmasking.

There will be a Q&A/discussion afterwards, and Merry Pin will provide everything you need to make a fun Halloween mask during the event!

Tickets: $15
50% of ticket sales go to support the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN).

All neurodivergent adults (and those who are exploring the possibility that they may be) of all lived experiences are welcome at these events and in this community. No formal diagnosis is needed to attend meetups.

Please review our short Community Values document.

Family, friends, and allies: We greatly value your support. ND Auntie’s speaking engagements are open to everyone and select Neuro Nights are open to guests of our community members.
