Autistic masking | how I developed my mask and my unmasking process

I started masking my autism at a very young age partly due to the fact that I went undiagnosed. As I got older I started to mask more and more. It started with small things that my parents yelled at me for but then it turned into things I was bullied for or things adults gave me weird looks for or things I saw as different. Masking is a coping strategy developed from trauma and being autistic in this world is incredibly traumatizing. Now it has been two years sense getting diagnosed and trying to learn now to unmask and be comfortable in my own identity.
