Displays of consideration can go so far in bridging these gaps. Ask your questions, but by prefacing with a statement like “I just want to understand this rule better” or “Out of curiosity” or something like that can make the questions much more palatable to neurotypicals.
I’m trying to get to that point myself and stop masking so much! I feel that you are 100% right too, I believe people love authenticity.
When people see somebody who is relaxed and accepts themselves, they are more likely to be relaxed and accepting as well.
Thanks for sharing 💚
