I can't completely unmask because I would lose my job. But the more I get to know myself as an autistic person I can decide what masking traits I want to keep to fit my life.

I was diagnosed last year, at 47. The relief of understanding is immense. The grief for the possibilities of life can be paralyzing. Take your time to get to know what this means to you. Everything else will fall in place.

Caroline :
Heavy on this. I've masked my ADHD heavily my whole life, and just because it took more effort to be that version of myself, it's still a part of who I am. It's still me, just at a level that takes more energy than I often have

suvi :
thank you this was actually kinda eye-opening for me 😭 that all-or-nothing thinking has got me once again, thinking i have to get rid of the mask completely and as fast as possible now that i'm aware of it, which has made me really uncomfortable and almost brought on an identity crisis. but the mask has been there for a reason, i'm allowed to still live in it and venture out here and there whenever it feels safe to do so 🥹

I dont want or need to unmask. It has kept me safe and helped me build my career. I do need to accommodate myself and keep creating a life I can enjoy. I work from home, dont put myself in loud, overstimulating, or crowded situations. I have friends, hobbies, a career, a partner and pets. I do support anyone who does want to unmask.

No, I'm trying to unmask behaviour that drain me and make me burn out. So no pressure to unmask but there is a pressure to find out what burns me out!

👑 Lady Serenity Celeste ✨️ :
I needed to hear this. Thank you so much for saying that. I keep trying too hard to force myself to unmask because I'm tired of masking since that's exhausting.. BUT, trying to force it as I've been conditioned to mask is even more exhausting and tiring.✌️

Nicole Filippone :
For me, I don't feel like I need to unmask every aspect of myself. Some of my masking is intentional and helps me achieve more of my goals. I've intentionally unmasked in many ways, but in some ways, I will continue to mask indefinitely. And I'm ok with that. Thank you for sharing. 🙂❤️

Lily Drinkwell :
I never really masked, just developed negative coping mechanisms and things to supress it. But now I'm connecting more with the child myself I see I can't really mask. My masking is just being completely quiet in unfamiliar situations, which is not the real me

I do, because I’m struggling to communicate and understand communication. I need to learn how to mask because I don’t know how to.

continuing to mask will inevitably increase the chances of you getting an autoimmune disease or other chronic ailment. unmask safely, but do not forget that your health is on the line. prioritise accordingly.
