You were right when you said you already know about faking it. If you can pass, you can create a persona. Another problem is that stage personas have a way of eating real personalities.


I've never passed as 'normal', I'm just not obviously autistic. I think this is because autism invokes a very narrow archetype in people that have little real knowledge of it. As for a stage persona eating me alive - yes, it is a real danger.
