Tips on unmasking for late diagnosed autistics

Spritz

I find it hard to unmask even with people I trust. I dont mask knowingly with them, it's more of an autopilot thing. 

If anyone has any tips on how to break out of this autopilot mode, that would be great, thank you.

  • I have no ability to unmask whatsoever. It is only if masking causes distress or other problems that unmasking is beneficial. My masking only causes exhaustion if I overdo socialising and I have mastered pacing my social commitments, or taking time out, to avoid this.
