"this wasn't a problem for you before" yes it was, I just didn't think I was allowed to set boundaries bc it was "rude"

My doctor told me it’s like I’ve been in constant fight and flight mode, and I’ve burnt out so bad and I’m struggling to recover from it and feel more exhausted than ever before.

Relationships got 10x harder, people tell me it's like I'm playing into autism too much. Obviously it's because I'm not hiding it as much.

Lockdown 2020 completely killed my mask & since then I’ve just been a completely different person. Part of me mourns her. But then I’m happy to now know why I am the way I am 😭

I’m nit diagnosed yet but I felt this. By now I am mostly out of survival mode and worked on being myself unmasked with friends and I feel so much less drained now. I am currently not working though

Does anyone get a constant feeling that they’re gonna make a mistake or do sth wrong? Anything I do, i feel like I have to be extremely cautious or I might break the rule or dont want to offend anyone

Is it harder because of justice sensitivity? Like masking is being forced to behave like neurotypical people so they are comfortable is actually not fair

VichyForever🇨🇦 :
I get so confused about what masking is, dont we all know we have to be a little ‘on’ while socializing? Also I already try to hid my OCD an anxiety to look normal but that’s not my autism so idk

I know you’re Aussie so your accent natural goes up at the end of a sentence BUT I do that too (English) and after diagnosis in my 40’s, I remembered being a kid and a friend saying ‘why do you speak

I was physically tired after parties, and would sleep more the next day. Almost like a hangover. But since I was a kid.

This … except no one knows , they just see you acting different and asking you what’s wrong etc as you try to introduce a new version of yourself

I have my asc assessment next week, but I've just been diagnosed adhd. Since I've accepted I'm ND, I am struggling to mask, but equally to unmask. It's like I don't know who I am and it's sent me into

Also once you know what burns you out, you start to act preemptively. I will avoid things now that stress me out, so I don't crash and burn afterwards.
