Not my graphic, but was REALLY helpful for me. I only recently learned about alexithymia, but I have suffered from it my entire life. Together with being autistic, it has had major, unwelcome impacts on my life. #AuthenticSelf #Autism #Alexithymia #Unmasking #AutisticUnmasking #SelfDiscovery

My road to unmasking started when I fist started at the City of Portland, and in the New Employee Orientation they asked us to “bring our Authentic Self” to the conversation. I like the idea of "My Authentic Self." What is my authentic self? And should Authentic Self always be capitalized (feels like it should be). #AuthenticSelf #Autism #Alexithymia #Unmasking #AutisticUnmasking #SelfDiscovery

What are you reflections on #autisticunmasking?
