I feel like I’m always masking to some degree, these days, except when I’m alone. I do stim freely pretty much wherever I am, but usually that just means twisting my spinner ring, which isn’t especially noticeable. And I will wear headphones when I feel like it, but again, not a super visibly autistic thing to do.
But when I am alone, I don’t resist talking to myself or making sounds with my mouth, which is nice.

masking was easier at one point but since my mental state has been deteriorating for other reasons its become extremely difficult. now everyone in my classes knows im a retard autist in addition to being a tranny

whenever i try being myself around others i end up saying too much and it makes me really upset. also, how hard is it to actually get a programming job? i’m good at coding but have really bad social anxiety and have been out of work for a while now. i think i’ve just played it up in my mind so much that i have a huge mental barrier.

It is pretty comfy at that, yeah! It’s making me want to bake, too.

Sorry but what do you mean by masking? Masking what?
Luis Ward
masking is a term used by the neurodiverse and mentally ill to mean hiding the symptoms of their condition (since it's usually physically invisible this usually means altering your behavior to fit in)
Ryan Jones
Masking autism. Suppressing autistic traits to appear not to be autistic.
Like, “Gee, it would feel nice to flap my hand right now, but I’d better not because people might see.” That kind of thing.
