What's it FEEL like Masking as an Autistic Person (Part 1)

Parts 2/3, & full edit, available on my profile. Hope this helps some people put some words to the experience of masking and why it can be so exhausting. #masking #Unmasking #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #autismacceptance #AutismAcceptanceMonth #autismawareness #autismawarenessmonth #autismawarenessandacceptance

💀 i can't believe you just compared nurotypicals to children but this is so accurate.

So true. The way many neurotypical people seem to be so awkward when interacting with kids is how I feel trying to socialize with adults. 😅
For me, I would much rather babysit a room full of kids than talk to adults. One, they're much more fun! and two, their expectations are pretty low as far as how I'm "supposed to" act. I can just be me, and they seem cool with that.😎

I can confirm as an autistic person. Thanks for tellin the world man!

I change my behaviour less around children, they’re nice

Parts 2 & 3 on here just show me the same video as part 1, and I would love to see the rest!

I do feel like neurotypical people are children in my eyes.

I mean, we have thought about things A L O T more than they ever could, six times faster means six times the amount of thoughts throughout our lives.
