I am so sorry to hear that your dad was not able to accept his remarkable son, just because he was different. That must have been very difficult for you.

Thank you so much for that insight into masking. From what you said, I understand that masking is also a way to provide some solitude in an anxiety provoking situation. Am I correct in my understanding?

I would enjoy hearing from others on the Spectrum as to what masking means to you. Any others who would like to share with me?
