But You Don’t Look Autistic…

Update: 2023-04-08

Description

I wanted to talk about this for Autism Acceptance Month. It’s been hard for me to disclose to people that I feel I’ve masked heavily around… but I also don’t want to hide any more. I discuss what masking has looked like for me over the years and how I attempted to “act neurotypical.” Follow me on Instagram @autismandouterspace and feel free to email me any time autismandouterspace@gmail.com
