how do I tell my mind and body it’s okay to stop masking? After a life of being made fun of for my habits and just being who I am as a person it’s hard to not get autistic burnout like often because I don’t like to let myself stop masking. Right now I am using my ear defenders and have my bfs heavy blanket draped over me and am rocking back and forth but I am tired. Advice on what to do to help me avoid autistic burnout and how to stop masking so much to also help that?
