What's AUTISTIC MASKING + What Can We Do About It?

In this video I wanted to talk about autistic masking and how to unmask. This video focuses on the following questions:
   - What is autistic masking?
   - Is autistic masking different from people pleasing?
   - What are the effects (positive + negative) of autistic masking?
   - How to unmask as an autistic person?
Many people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) learn to mask their autistic traits by copying neurotypicals, resisting their instincts, scripting, and overcompensating for perceived deficits. And in this video, I share my experience with that, how masking affected my mental health, and what I've been doing to unmask my autism.
