My friend was recently diagnosed as being on the Spectrum. He says he constantly put up a mask and tried to act or do things the way people around him expected him to act or expected him to do. After the diagnosis he is struggling to figure out who he is because he feels like his whole life. He has put up a mask. Has anyone else experienced this? In dire need of advice on how to help him figure out who he is and how I can help him.
My advice to you and your friend is to just support and be there for him. Ask him to try and be open and honest about how he's feeling. You guys can look at more information on diagnosis and help him to understand it.
