@Zumbador@stahldame@actuallyautistic , also of course, this doesn't apply to every autistic person. Some are really good at masking, but once I learned I was, once I realized my energy is mostly wasted masking everything and I was already so bad at it, I just can't mask as much as I used to. It's such an aversion now for me. Sure, there are some things more easily done and I find to me are possibly like etiquette in a way, but it's so nice to just not do as full throttle as I used to.
