For Pete's Sake!<p>Made an unusual discovery this morning. I'm much less prone to overwhelm and more capable of dealing with unexpected and/or stressful situations or crowds when I'm dressed in my suit, waistcoat, cravat etc than I am when I'm dressed in my jeans and t-shirts/fleeces.</p><p>I do mask constantly but I guess the suit is "The Ultimate Mask" .. much like not being able to cope with London ComicCon for years until I went "as someone else" in an outfit. </p><p>Does probably explain why I'm much more tired/drained at the end of the day though.</p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Autism</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AuDHD</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/masking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>masking</span></a></p>

Moz<p>Finished a box of disposable masks and looked on the shelf for the next one.

I need to watch for cues and pattern match to scenarios that I have worked out beforehand. I hold a huge number of these scenarios in my head as I interact with other people. But try as I might, I cannot account for all of them. If I encounter an expected response, I get flustered. I cannot unpack my feelings and the situation on the spot. My arms feel limp and I freeze sometimes. So this adds to a certain anxiety in every interaction. But at least I know what is happening. I am getting better at saying “I need a moment” or “I’ll get back to you” This is the whole mechanism of why and how I mask. It’s honestly exhausting!<a href="https://aus.social/tags/masking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>masking</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span></p>
🐌’s Pace<p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/masking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>masking</span></a> Wait a minute! Am I to understand that it is OK to wear a mask if you want to grab any one looking immigrant-y in the street and disappear them, but it is not to protect yourself and others from air-borne diseases?? Huh.</p>
Andre<p>I think what I've been through in the last 20 minutes is a great example of how ASD affects us, even when we are considered "level 1" in terms of support.</p><p>- Coworker said they're feeling unwell and asked if we wanted to do a meeting without them or postpone it.<br>- I replied saying I was in favor of postponing it.<br>- Coworker 2 replied "get well soon" in the thread<br>- Coworker 3 gave a thumbs up on my message and sent a "get well soon" in the thread as well<br>- I spent the next 15 minutes stuck in a loop thinking if I should:</p><p>1. edit my initial reply and add a "get well soon" to the end<br>2. send "get well soon" as a separate message<br>3. move ahead with my life</p><p>That lasted until our last coworker sent a "get well soon", when I decided the occasion required a wish of health from me as well and sent one at the end of the thread.</p><p>So yeah, your coworker who looks "too normal to be autistic" probably also has these moments as well, for stupid reasons, multiple times a day. <br>And that is a HUGE energy sink.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Autism</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ASD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ASD</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Masking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Masking</span></a></p>
Paco Hope #resist<p>And the CDC simultaneously says: <em>TB is spread through the air from one person to another.</em> and then under <strong>Prevention</strong> (and frankly, anywhere else) they do not say the word <em><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/mask" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mask</span></a></em>.</p><p>I mean, they even say:</p><blockquote><p>These germs can stay in the air for several hours, depending on the environment. TB germs are more likely to spread in indoor areas or other places with poor air circulation (such as a closed vehicle) than in outdoor areas. People who breathe in the air become infected with TB.</p></blockquote><p>But they can't actually mention the possibility of <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/masking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>masking</span></a>. On <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/tb/causes/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">this page about the causes of TB</a> they discuss <strong>if you have active TB disease</strong>, meaning you're probably actively contagious, they say "Your health care provider will tell you what steps you can take to keep from spreading TB germs to others". I sure hope "your health care provider" has the sense to say "<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/WearAMask" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WearAMask</span></a>".</p><p>I'd like to know what justification they have to <strong>not</strong> mention masking.</p>
Bc Clarity Carlton-Martin<p>My old bandmate, who has been in assited living for ab9ut 2 years, was pout into hospice Saturday after contracting COVID19 for the first time. His fragile health was not considered worth masking around them. This is the third close friend who has contracted COVID19 and died in a medical setting this last 8 months. i am overwhelmed with grief too much to even consider being active against the Confederated TechBro Takeover of 2025.
