Creating Safe Spaces for Anxious Autistic Brains: Understanding Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn Responses
Welcome to our eight-part podcast series exploring key topics that help us better support autistic girls, women, and gender-diverse people.
This episode we will focus on Creating Safe Spaces for Anxious Autistic Brains: Understanding Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn Responses with Chelsea Luker and Chenai Mupotsa-Russell. Today’s conversation takes an honest, compassionate look at understanding what these survival responses really mean, how they can show up in both obvious and hidden ways, and why safety must come before regulation. Whether you're a parent, carer, educator, or professional, we hope this episode offers you practical insights, new ways of thinking, and a reminder that our ladybugs deserve understanding, patience, and true relational safety. With thanks to the Victorian Department of Education.
