If you're protecting yourself from others masking isnt lying is self defense! If others weren't so intolerant we wouldn't need to mask.

I always looked at as hiding. I never thought of it as masking until now.
I have a huge understanding for your friend. I feel when I tell people or let people know, I'm always worried about how they will look at me or the way they think.
I don't like people to look at me as a person who they have feel so very sorry for.
I'm also worried that people would thinking of me as this person who isn't smart or has issues.

The masking makes my daughter so tired.

Thank you both. I appreciate these videos. Makes you feel less alone. When I'm at a work function, I have to mask and be on high alert not to slip up. It's exhausting. Thankfully I'm mostly remote now, but in person social situations are an ordeal. I don't think neurotypical individuals could even fathom what we go through for something that is seamless to them.

Hey Dan.. People are saying Aspergers doesnt exist anymore because it was taken out of the DSM-5 manual thing, does this mean you'll have to change you page name?

My mom forces me to mask in public. When I tried to stop masking to be myself, she got upset and sad I wasn’t following her advice. In this case, how can I stop masking? And is stopping masking a bad thing?
