You dont have to mask. But people are not obligated to be friends with people that behave in a way that they dont like either.

as an autistic girly checking the comments and seeing all the ableism is wild. like yes everyone has to monitor themselves, not everyone has to repress their entire being just to fit into other people's worldview. there is a difference.

My boss kept asking me for a long time if I was angry. I was quiet, head down, doing my work. He kept asking and asking on and on and on. One day, I just snapped and said, "If you keep asking me that without taking what I've said to you as facts then imma bout to be," he looked shocked then said yeah I can see why that would be annoying and make someone angry. Only person I've ever managed to successfully get to stop and think.

My biggest issue with this comment section is that people seem to not understand the extreme difference between neurotypical people learning regular social behaviour and an autistic person masking. Autism is a DISABILITY. It’s not you as a neurotypical person learning what to do. An autistic persons brain does not work that way and it never will. It’s like telling a person who was born paralyzed to just learn to walk because we all have to.

Masking is honestly so exhausting, especially for autistic women 😔 constantly trying to appear “normal” around people can drain you so much mentally and physically. I remember a time where I felt overstimulated all the time, exhausted and even dealing with bloating and low energy daily. I thought that was just stress. Then in a women’s forum someone mentioned Eat Like A Woman Protocol (by Loren Green). I tried it and things shifted—29 lbs gone, digestion calm and my energy finally steadier. Feels like hidden info nobody talks about.

Everyone in these comments going against what you’re saying know nothing what it’s like to have a neurodivergent brain. Life is completely different for us.

I'm actually sick of people,often other autistic people, telling us that this is just how life it is,and that it's on us to make others comfortable. even when it's literally harmless stuff

Girl we all play social games, we are social animals, our whole planetary system is built around how we interact. Everyone is masking to some degree. And it is draining. So maybe focus on finding people with similar demeanours to you that will not "misinterpret" your signals

I think the only norm should be : don't be rude. And that would include yelling, insulting, mocking, crossing boundaries. That's it. Nobody needs to bend backwards to appear likeable.

Autistic or not, that’s just called behaving and acting around others with consideration and respect.

you're right.. it's not your responsibility to coddle other people's insecurities. however, you are responsible for your actions that are disruptive or impact others. and that's not saying you do that. but some of us do.
