I had the obviously kind remark from acquaintances , they said that I didn’t have to mask in front of them. I was repeating inside my head, “ I’m bored, until you say something that interests me.” Do they actually want me to unmask? Think not.

I like this honest response but like you say I am not sure it would be received well by majority non autistic groups. In autistic groups, this direct reply would be very much encouraged but then again I don’t think we would find as many interactions boring because small talk is not part of our communication style. We love deep think and deep talk!
