hot take. masking can be good actually.
#not to say that unmasking is bad bc of course not#but i do think there is a utility and importance to masking that often goes unsaid#and i think learning to unmask and learning to mask can be complimentary#there are situations where small talk and scripting and understanding the rhythms of conversation#will be good for you#and simultaneously#there are times where you will need to unmask to recoup spoons and avoid burnout#idk just food for thought#i understand this is coming from a place of privilege tho#im level 1 autistic and while masking can burn me out#it also comes effortlessly to me#its an automatic trigger. a response i cant quite control#in my autism assessment my assessor described me as a social chameleon LOL
