This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Is this called "Masking"?

I recently heard about "masking" and thought it was something everyone did.

I just recently started recognizing how autism has affected my behaviors and life in general. This is masking.

And it is indeed something everyone does to varying degrees.
