Episode 22
"Masking" is one of the many ways that those of us on the Spectrum hide ourselves from others. We try to hide our autistic tendencies so that people in the Neurotypical world see us as one of them. It's a method of acceptance we have been doing most of our lives with varying degrees of success.
Todays visit we talk about how masking manifests itself. We also visit some troublesome ideas and some ways to stop masking and just be ourselves.
Thanks for Listening!
