    My personal opinion is that you shouldn’t go around telling people you are Autistic. More often than not it is effectively an excuse. It doesn’t help you fit in more and it can end up being an excuse to be lazy. Drop your mask if you want but don’t tell people it is because you are Autistic.

    This is just my personal belief. You are welcome to disagree.
