    Spoiler: none of this, it turns out, has anything to do with autism.

    It has everything to do with trauma.

    An experience not at all limited to autistics.

  3. Autistic masking is a trauma response to stigma, invalidation, and marginalisation. It requires us to project acceptability, an effort which takes up an enormous amount of energy to sustain itself, leading to high rates of self-harm, a high suicide rate, and an early average range of death.

    But somehow pointing this out means we're living in fear and need help for anxiety.
