Ngl, I have trouble letting go of the mask when I get a peek behind it.

It's like any kind of adjustment, but when a person masks very well, it's a little tougher to not go "but you don't show it". I still have to consciously make the effort to not say it out loud, even after having a good bit of interaction with a wide range of autistic people over the last decade or so.

Do you think it possible for an autistic person to hyperfocus on interpersonal relationships so much that they become better at faking the game that is social interaction better than NTs?
