This is false. Everyone on the autism spectrum is the same. And we all have meetings to ensure compliance. Where were you last Thursday? The Hive noticed you were absent.

True. Inversely, some people find it exceedingly difficult to unmask!

For once I would really like people to not prove me right in the fucking comments. Ableism is not a good thing. Autistic people that cannot mask are just as valid as those that cannot unmask. Just because I can’t mask my autism doesn’t mean that I am narcissistic or have trouble with empathy. STFU

Yeah I’ve seen constant articles about folks not being able to unmask their autism but at the same time, those same people have judged other autistic people for not being able to mask

I disagree with that. Personally, I am not able to mask due to how my autism is, but I consider myself very empathetic and a lot of people in my life have told me that I am a pretty empathetic human. Not being able to mask your autism does not automatically mean someone is not empathetic.
