Anyone with #ADHD and/or #ASD can tell me about their experience with masking?
I have a hard time relaxing and recharging my social batteries unless I'm alone or just in the company of animals.
How do you manage #masking and your social battery around your SO? Is it possible to deprogram the automatic tendency to mask even with people you love?
To give you an idea about my masking, I feel like my social interactions are based on following a script or doing a performance even if it's super unconscious and automatic.
Just learned about the concept but it's evident that this is what I'm doing constantly when interacting with people and the reason why I crave alone time to unwind and recharge.
