Examples Of Autistic Masking

This article looks at examples of masking in different situations (e.g., at work and school) and in different demographics (e.g., in different genders and people of color).

By unmasking, autistic individuals can contribute to greater autism awareness and acceptance, promoting a more diverse and inclusive society that values neurodiversity.

Autistic burnout is a debilitating condition characterized by chronic exhaustion, loss of skills, and reduced tolerance to stimuli that can be attributed to excessive masking.

Neurodiversity is the concept that there is natural variation in how human brains function. It refers to neurocognitive differences such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and more that have both strengths and struggles.
