        I usually last about 6 months of masking before I break. The best job I ever had was at a college where seemingly lots of people were “different”.

        Sadly the campus closed down.

          I’ve found that if I can mask long enough to prove my competence people overlook my being a fucking weirdo when it slips off. I do work in IT though so I’m kind of middle of the pack as far as weirdos go.

      It can be done. I am autistic, and I’m usually able to fake it well enough to get hired by somebody. Then I try to optimize in ways that reduce the amount of effort I put in to the image.
