It has been just over a year since I've realized "oh I'm an autistic person and that is cool" and being trying to find myself.
So unmasking doesn't work. For those wondering, just .. well it might feel freeing but mid-term solution is "take drugs".
So I'm in the process of building two major masks. One I already pretty much have down, the "grocery store mask" which I'm promoting to quasi-full duty. It works, it needs tweaks, cool.
The other is the "but nothing will change even though it has" mask, and I hate to use the term "gaslighting" but if the shoe fits take it off.
I am me, and nobody and nothing can stop me from being me.
Has anyone else here had difficulty or some sort of hopefully success with building masks intentionally?
