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).
