Masking 101: Lights! Camera! Action!

I was thinking about the conversations I had with my Asperger's group about masking. It was really interesting and challenging. Many of us in the group mask so much that we can't even tell the difference between our masked selves and our real selves.

This is especially true for those of us who work in entertainment, like actors. As autistics, we're constantly acting and performing - masking ourselves. And as actors, it's our job to be someone else. So how do we know which personality is the real us?

I think it would be really helpful to talk more about this with a group of other autistic actors. It would be great to hear their experiences and insights.

PS. If you're an autistic actor, feel free to reach out to me. I'd love to connect and explore this topic further together.
