Quite perplexing, isn't it.
Sometimes your Autism is really up front and noticable, but it gets deliberately talked away. It is a struggle.

I hope that's a typo, but, if it's not, I hope what you are feeling now heals.
Believe me - I know.
Me too. It does hurt.

Sometimes though that works for the moment, and it helps with survival. But, as you probably know, it is exhausting in the long run.
I have had several decades long friendships and relationships go under because suddenly the mask isn't present, and then it's - raw.
