Have you thought about unmasking, i.e. telling people you’re autistic, by advocating for diversity? Here’s one story about how unmasking played out, including:
- The blank looks, the self-doubt, and the mental replay afterward
- Whether advocacy is worth the emotional cost
- The tension between staying safe behind the mask… or speaking plainly
If you’ve ever left a room and replayed every word, wondering if you revealed too much — this conversation is for you!
