DesirAutism? In the sense of unmasking!!
ofc! here you go:
♡ start off by unmasking when youre alone- its often a lot easier to unmask when youre not afraid of reactions from other people. dont worry about seeming weird, since theres no one else around
♡ work your way up to unmasking online, then around close friends, and eventually youll barely mask at all anymore
♡ unmasking is all about building confidence in yourself- if you want to do something that makes you happy, then do it, and dont worry about other people judging you. just constantly reassure yourself that what other people say doesnt matter, only what youre happy with matters (even if you dont believe it, just telling yourself that will help you believe it)
♡ try being around other autistic people, especially irl. being around other people who arent masking will help you unmask too
♡ take it slowly and just unmask for a bit at a time at first. just take ten or so minutes to unmask every day, and then increase the time a bit more each day until you dont need to time it anymore
♡ stay away from internet discourse. this is honestly just a good idea in general but is especially important when youre trying to feel more comfortable with yourself. seeing constant ableism and misinformation and arguing will really negatively impact you
