A lot of low support/high masking autistic people don't find out they are autistic until they hit burnout and seek mental health help. Burnout can be really difficult to go through and it forces you to change a lot of things about your life. I'm sending love to anyone struggling in burnout right now you aren't alone❤️❤️ #actuallyautistic #autismburnout #latediagnosedautistic #audhd #neurodivergent | Morgan Foley

The scary thing about masking is how automatic it becomes. Many autistic people will walk into a room and immediately start scanning: How is everyone talking? How loud are they? What jokes are landing? What version of me keeps me safest here? The mask is on before we even know we’ve put it on. #AuDHD #autism #Autism #autistic | I've been autistic all along?

Women are four times more likely to mask their autism compared with men. But why do they do it, and what are the consequences? Karly’s friends didn’t know she had autism, and masking her true self left her feeling mentally exhausted. Emma, an expert from Aspect (Autism Spectrum Australia) told us there was a name for that feeling. It’s called ‘Autistic burnout’. | ABC News
