$11.00

A Comprehensive PDF Resource to Share with Your Therapist, Coach, Partner, or Healthcare Provider

This resource is designed to provide a deeper understanding of the complexity behind your experiences, especially in the context of Highly Masked Autism. It can help others support you with greater empathy and insight.

What’s Included in the Model:

Neurological and Biological Differences (The “Wiring” of a Complex Nervous System):

  • Unique ways of processing information

  • Atypical cellular responses to stress, hormones, and environmental triggers

  • Variations in connective tissue structure and permeability

  • Differences in sleep regulation

  • Sensory processing divergences

  • ...and more

Mental Health Challenges Linked to Complexity and Chronic Stress:

  • Anxiety

  • Depression, burnout, and suicidality

  • Trauma

  • Mood changes related to menstruation and (peri)menopause

  • Sensory overload and processing challenges

  • Alexithymia (difficulty identifying and expressing emotions)

  • Body-focused repetitive behaviors

  • ...and more

Physical Health Conditions Commonly Associated with Chronic Stress and Complexity:

  • Neuroinflammation

  • Autonomic nervous system dysfunction (e.g., POTS)

  • Autoimmune disorders

  • Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)

  • Gastrointestinal issues

  • Chronic pain and fibromyalgia

  • ...and more

Additional Insights:

The model also explores the effects of:

  • Masking and other maladaptive coping mechanisms

  • Internalized ableism

  • Disability and identity-related confusion

Extensive research links are provided throughout for continued personal exploration and understanding.
