When Masking Becomes So Automatic You Lose Yourself

I've been masking my autism so well for so long that I don't remember what my actual personality is underneath all the learned behaviors.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Long-term masking can create a disconnection from one's authentic self as learned neurotypical behaviors become indistinguishable from genuine personality.
