Conscious attention to how you interact in order to be accepted is known as masking. It involves blending in, smoothing edges, hiding instincts, doing things you really don't want to and sometimes a full acting job. It is no wonder so many autistics are real-life actors.

For many autistic people—especially those without intellectual disability—autism doesn’t look like what most people expect. You might have done well in school. You might have a job, a family, and a rich internal world. And still, something doesn’t quite fit. Behind the scenes there is a constant hum of effort: interpreting social cues, replaying conversations, preparing scripts for interactions that others seem to do with ease. In reality autistics are doing a lot of work: the quiet act of holding back a stim, copying someone’s smile, or adjusting tone mid-sentence to sound “just right.” Over time, these adjustments shape how others see you: competent, agreeable, even charismatic. But they also erode your energy, your clarity, your sense of self.

From the perspective of a late-diagnosed (WHAT), unemployed (WHAT) and pseudo-anarchist AuDHD comedian (WHAT). AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE, BECAUSE STONE COLD SAID SO.

Since 2022, I have had a steadily increasing number of verbally-fluent adult clients seek autism assessment. In fact, this has occurred with such regularity that I was able to, with support from my clinical agency, build and complete an entire post-doctoral residence around providing adult autism and ADHD assessment. A little about me: I’m a psychology professor, a researcher focusing on cool things like autism and religion, and a psychological diagnostician. I am also autistic; I was clinically
