Re-learning about the 4 main ways women mask can help women who are trying to learn how to unmask (particularly relevant to the late diagnosed / self-identified / self-realised Autistic women).

Why do we mask?  What are the benefits and downsides?  How do Autistic women mask?  The biggest misconception about autistic masking?

  • I think it's been like a really deep exfoliation, just rubbing away all the years of crud until my real face is visable, but I think, I've been slowly unmasking for years, long before I knew anyting about autism, it's just part and parcel of the spiritual and personal growth world I was part of for so long.

    I think it's a bit like therapy where the therapist walks beside you in your own personal forest asking if that's a tree or a piece of wood that can be cleared.
