At times in my life when the external requirements on me have conflicted with my internal needs or reality, the dissonance between those two has proved immense, painful, energy draining, and lonely. 1/2

Masking isn't just exhausting. It's cortisol dysregulation, autoimmune risk, identity loss, and physical collapse. The research is clear. The body pays the price.

A lot of what I had to unlearn when unmasking wasn't so much my own beliefs about myself, it was other people's concepts of what I "should" or "shouldn't" be that I had internalized over the years and accepted as true. 1/2

I want to float an idea.
There's a version of being sensitive to the other person, of being aware of them and attuned to them, that isn't masking. 1/3

People sometimes ask me what to say when they disclose their autism, like there's a script that'll guarantee a good reaction. But there isn't.
There's no perfect combination of words that'll make someone respond with acceptance and support no matter who they are or what they're carrying. 1/2

For Autistics, how people-pleasing usually develops is when the people around you are either telling you explicitly or kind of subtly giving you the message over and over and over, that your natural autistic reactions to things aren’t acceptable. 1/3

Masking isn't the same thing as being sensitive to other people. And being sensitive to other people isn't the same thing as masking.
There's a version of attunement — of being aware of someone, reading the room, adjusting how you show up — that isn't masking. It's just... being in relationship with another person.
Unmasking doesn't mean being insensitive. Those aren't the only options.

I spent hours cooking for a table that remained empty. To me, a vague "okay" was a contractual commitment. To my guests, it meant nothing at all.
I discovered at forty-eight that my world is built on words that mean exactly what they say.
In this article, I analyze seven traits I have only now understood, starting with that lunch that never happened.
