What does Autistic Masking/Camoflaging mean to YOU?

Not what the definition is. Not what people on social media say. We say that all humans are different. Masking fits into that too.

Some of us can’t mask btw.

What is it to YOU?

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic Summer, no question. Perhaps not coincidentally, many of my shims revolve around heat.

Is there such a thing as “autistic energy”?

@ScottSoCal @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic I'm actually looking for real - leaving California for someplace cheaper

@johnettesnuggs @ScottSoCal @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic We're moving to the Midwest, so... Yeah. But there are reasons.

@ScottSoCal @johnettesnuggs @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic If it works out like we hope, I might be able to make my mortgage disappear entirely, which is a whole new level of slack for lining up the next venture.

@johnettesnuggs @ScottSoCal @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic It's a balancing of concerns, the financial windfall vs. living among fascist shitbags. We'll be in a blue urban enclave, though. ("Blue", because although they vote Democratic, I wouldn't suggest most of the people there are actually left of center - but with a healthy number of notable exceptions.)

Echolalia is one of the most fun parts of autism

@actuallyautistic

@synkr3tyk@mastodon.social avatar

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic Echolalia isn't something I do, but seeing this post prompted me to go learn about it, which led to reading about other behavioral echophenomena, and it turns out echoplasia is something I absolutely do.

Have my comrades ever been told that they “walk autistically”?

@actuallyautistic

@synkr3tyk@mastodon.social avatar

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic When I was about five years old, my mother spent what felt like an absurdly long time trying to coach me to swing my arms "naturally" when I walk. I found the whole exerices bizarre and bewildering - like I'm getting from A to B just fine, what the fuck else do you want?

In other news, people can still identify me from a distance by my walk.

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic I came to the understanding about eleven months ago. A fellow synthesist, who is also openly autistic, shared an experience of hers that got me thinking. After weeks of reading, reflection, and engaging with others, I embraced autism as the best understanding I've ever had of myself and my behavior.

@ScottSoCal @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic I was on Twitter, in that halcyon yestermonth when it was still good for anything.
