I listened to this utube video about autism this week and it mentioned masking- knew about that and do it- but then camouflage-ing. Sorry no idea how to spell that.
It said autistic people slip in a room unnoticed and camouflage. I realised I do this so much.
In fact I have recently done this on this forum.
I left for a couple or 3 years and just turned up again unannounced camouflage-ing. I don't want to do this now I realise that I do. So sorry about that and a polite hello I am back to you all.

Yes, I can certainly relate to this. Whether it's amongst the sober or the inebriate, I seem to have acquired a knack somehow for blending into the background, or foreground, or pretty much anywhere really.
Also get spoken over and looked through a lot when sitting at table with people.
Yes, I dread work team events when it's something awful like secret santa. I was once the only person who didn't get a present. Cut deep.
