Masking is a complex and costly survival strategy for autistic people. It generally involves intentionally learning neurotypical behaviors and mimicking them in social situations. Sometimes masking focuses on hiding behaviors that people feel won't be accepted.
In that way its like putting on your "social mask" so you can interact with people efficiently even though that's now how you normally act or would want to act if you weren't afraid of being seen as strange.

Autistic person: yeah I learned early in school that I should just chuckle whenever someone says something weird to me because they're probably making a joke or smiling whenever someone else is smiling so I don't look out of place
Non-autistic friend: ohh so you mean like masking right?
Autistic person: yeah exactly!

Get the Masking mug.Miski is the type of person you can trust. She is so beautiful too like you can never take your eyes off of her. She is so bad, like you are never going to get tired of her. She is simply the best person you can ever meet. She can be stubborn sometimes because she likes to be independent and not depend on others all the time. Plus she has got an amazing personality, like you would always wanna be near her. So if you ever meet anyone named Miski don't ruin your friendship with her and don't be a pain in the ass, she wouldn't like it.
Jackie : Omg ! I honestly love Miski she's my bestfriend
Donna : I know right I love her too. She's so trustworthy.

A LEGO cartoon based on chinese culture, particularly The Monkey King & Journey to the West. The fandom is pretty bizarre since more than half of the community have a crush on either Macaque or Sun Wukong, but putting that aside, the cartoon also has it's own toyline!
Person 1: I watched Monkie Kid and I loved it.
Person 2: Did you find Macaque attractive?
Person 1: Maybe? I'm not gay, but maybe.
