Masking for an Autistic Parent

Orion Kelly: Masking for an autistic person is one, really not something we want to do. It takes a massive amount of our own personal mental and physical energy before we even been able to use it on things that are actually important to us. We have forced our entire lives to hide, to mask who we really are so the neurotypical world feel comfortable,. Allow us to be accepted by them, and we feel like we fit in rather than being an outcast.
