@GvcciGoddess lmfaooooo i literally spent two years believing i had BPD so yeah im a living example of autistic women being misdiagnosed.. the masking thing i mentioned is more common in females which makes female autism harder to detect but tbh i feel like masking itself should be detectable because it is not the same thing as interacting with understanding, it's imitation.. like if sociopaths are known to imitate socially acceptable behaviour then y arent we lol

also AGREED. autism is clinically referred to as a hidden disability and like.... i dont see anyone claiming that one physical disability is the same as another

I think, with my best effort to not sound rude lol, its pretty easy to detect when someone is masking? Or mby I have a wonky view since I wouldn't know abt the ppl making unnoticed, but I feel like most ppl r pretty good at just, noticing when something isn't 100% within the normal standards of behaviour. I feel like sometimes I meet ppl n something just feels off abt them, not like omg they r autistic but I def notice smth isn't "normal", they might not even be aware themselves tho. Hmmm

what even is the 100% normal standard of behaviour tho... that could be affected by SO many things that aren't autism. even just someone having a bad day or goin through grief. i dont rly like to see it as "autistic = abnormal" cause the amount of WEIRD PEOPLE (MEN) OUT THERE WHO ARE ALLEGEDLY SANE AND HEALTHY MINDED............ doesnt add up

PERIOD SIS

from my understanding autistic women learn masking and how to adapt socially from a very early age so it is deeply integrated into them and becomes second nature. Like im pretty sure masking is something thats literally human nature and everyone learns it and does it, its just that it takes more effort and energy for autistic ppl to socialize. Like it mentally exhausts them and drains them so they need a lot of time to “recharge”

depends because i was bullied all through school and had to drop out of uni before i properly began to learn how to mask and became aware that i was doing it
