There are innumerable covered-up autistic persons who pass for neurotypical for every person who is obviously autistic. Masking is a typical coping strategy used by autistic persons to adopt a superficial personality at the price of their mental health by hiding their clearly identifiable qualities in order to fit in with society norms. To avoid being perceived as needy or "strange," they may do things like stifle innocuous stims, pretend to be quiet and well-mannered in order to mask communication problems, and push themselves into uncomfortable circumstances. Autism is a profound source of individuality and creativity for many people, including the author, Carolyn G. Moore. Sadly, living in a neurotypical society may also be a very difficult and unfriendly experience. Before realizing who, they are, the majority of masked autistic people suffer for decades. They also suffer more and become invisible since they are more likely to be stigmatized. In order to free autistic persons from having to hide their needs, uniqueness, and special strengths, it is time for increased public acceptance and accommodation of difference. Together, neurotypical and autistic people can discover true living and enjoy the benefits of nonconformity by embracing neurodiversity.
