Lol...a video of a boy in bed rocking, giggling, etc. I'll try to find it for you.Who? And what kind of energy?
I'll be more specific. Little overwhelmed.I need to get to know this site. My phone sucks also
I couldn't agree with you moreI am and always have been just me. No masks, no façade, no pretending to be something I am not. I think that is because I never even heard of Asperger's until I was 60 and was not diagnosed until I was 62. Who I am and my life style was set by then. I have always known that I was different than everybody else, but I was comfortable with who I was, so being different never has bothered me. However I have had plenty of human contact. As fate would have it, I met my wife and got married at a fairly young age. Now we have a very large family and most of them see me as "eccentric". Other people who know who I am see me as that "weird, old, smart guy" and that is OK with me.
I've been asking myself this question for years.Underneath all of the facades and masks and performances we do for the sake of getting along in an NT world, what is your true, inner self like? Who are you, really? And are there any situations where you're able to bring that authentic self to the surface for others to see?
This discussion is, I have to say, really disturbing. Why do so many here feel the need to pretend, to cover up who they really are? You don't see this happening with other 'minority groups', for example those based upon ethnicity or physical disability. The path to acceptance (not 'tolerance' - we don't want that) begins with being unafraid to be who we are in public. If we continue to try to hide, we will will accomplish nothing. We have nothing to be ashamed of, so why act as though we do?
I think everyone (including NTs) does this to accommodate society, at large. Wearing a Speedo or a bikini may be legally acceptable, but it's only appropriate in certain settings. What the OP calls a mask may, in fact, be various states of behavioral dress or undress, a.k.a. decorum. As long as one has a place where they can let their hair down, recognizing a degree of etiquette shouldn't be a problem.This discussion is, I have to say, really disturbing.

I think it's because many of us were treated so badly, and didn't understand why, so in order to have a less stressed out life, we adapted.This discussion is, I have to say, really disturbing.
