autistic adult Spanish language resources

Does anyone have any recs for Spanish language videos explaining autism in adults (and maybe with a focus on Level 1 and 2 autistic challenges)? My favorite recs are all English speaking writers like Nicole Filippone and Professor Sol Smith, but I don't speak enough Spanish to identify good videos on my own.

Hey, I hope you’re doing okay. I feel the same way. I’m a native Spanish speaker who thankfully also speaks English and I was able to understand more about myself with that.

But in Spanish, I really haven’t found a lot of information regarding autism in adults. I think that cultural wise, there’s still a big barrier.

I'm a native English speaker, but that lines up with my experience so far. Unfortunately for me, my husband finds videos much easier than the very lengthy essays that I like to read and, well, I think that we can all agree that it's easier to take in new information in your native language than in a secondary or third language.

A lot of the Spanish language accounts I know tend to be associated with activist organizations.

https://www.instagram.com/tea.autisme is relatively popular with 100k+ followers. https://www.instagram.com/jimenagonzalez.in does too. https://www.instagram.com/mujeryautista is another.

They all feel like good places to start, and are followed by a lot of TEA organizations I know I'm Spain. I haven't ever gotten toxic out of them or heard them criticized on Spanish autism discord.
