yes, like i am functioning, i can do tasks, study, chores, but it costs me so much energy. Every talk i do is a chore, every small interaction is a chore, and it im always "busy" and tired, even if all i did was going to school. Neurotypicals just can't believe the things they do everyday without thinking are hard for someone. They just see me doing the work, and like "oh your autism is not bad actually, you don't look autistic" well yes thats called masking that i had to learn in 16 years without diagnosis. Maybe i am high-functioning, i know i have low support needs, but im still autistic, i need understanding
