One of the cruelest things about Autistic/ADHD masking is that you learn to treat positive emotions as a warning sign that you're about to do something "wrong" and that it is therefore "safest for everyone" if you maintain a constant, low-key negative internal emotional state.

I appreciate the need for plain language, but can we also acknowledge that plain language is actually harder for some folks to produce and comprehend? Sometimes I get knocked on my vocabulary in disability spaces. I get called elitist and pretentious. UM, IT'S NEURODIVERGENCE.
