I used to be so good at masking. Then I took a career break and spent most of my time with people I don't need to mask around and now I've forgotten how I ever did it 😅

I’ve been thinking I may be autistic and it’s driving me insaneee, but I do enjoy spending time with them, the problem is sometimes I just don’t feel like talking and just like watching them talk or be on my phone when they talk, and usually after spending time with them and actually interacting I feel sooo drained! I just need alone time or at least 30 minutes of not talking. And it makes me a little sad when they think Im mad or bored, im just tireddd of socializing:( idk what to do an evaluation is sooo expensive

Ever since I became friendless and alone, I’ve become significantly less depressed.

I’ve actually realised that most of my friends are neurodivergent without me knowing that I was picking people like myself 😊

I avoid socialising with my whole body, once a month is my limit and never on a weekend, that’s my recharge time 👀

As an autism assessor, can you see through the mask in an assessment?

I suck at masking. As soon as I feel comfortable around someone, I fall apart.
