daywalker

Day walker (autism slang, informal) — An autistic person who can blend into neurotypical society well enough that most people don’t realize they’re autistic. They can “pass” in social situations, even if it takes effort or feels unnatural.

“He’s a daywalker — he’s got autism, but he’s unlocked the social DLC, so you don’t notice until he starts explaining Austrian economics.”
