Can autistic masking become so familiar that you begin to mistake it for your personality?

In Part Two, I talk about people pleasing, empathy, and the exhaustion that can follow years of adapting to other people’s expectations. I explore how some autistic women learn to monitor other people’s moods, prevent conflict, and appear fine in public while needing significant time to recover in private.

I also look at why feeling empathy and feeling responsible for someone else’s emotions are different experiences.We consider the relationship between masking, autistic burnout, identity, and the adapted self.

If you’ve spent years being accommodating and capable but struggle to know what you want or need, I share questions that can help you notice when adaptation is happening and where you may want more choice.
