@actuallyautistic How did y'all discover which parts of yourself were masking and which parts are genuine? Or, figuring out when you are masking in the moment it happens? Sometimes I feel off in certain scenarios but I can never pinpoint what is masking and what isn't. Any advice or resources would be appreciated!

@chevalier26 @actuallyautistic before I figured out my 'tism diagnosis I hyperfocused on "healing" trauma for about 8 years. The biggest lessons?

For me, it doesn't matter what is masking. It matters how well I love myself in this gestures broadly madness. The more I love myself, the more real I am, the more flexible I am.

Shifting your nervous system or making lasting internal change takes forever. Stay focused on 1% effort/change and you'll get there, just years later then you think.
