@alice @actuallyautistic this is interesting and helpful, thanks! Especially the masking test is most revealing.
I do have some puzzles though about some types of questions. Questions like "Do you...people/parties.". I have a few close friends and a few communities where I can let go and be myself. I'm guessing they usually don't mean those, in questions...but it would help if they used phrasing like "with certain people" or "with most people" or even "with neurotypical people."
When I need something from other people, I am very aware and adjust my behavior. But also, I'm a #barefooter and couldn't care less what other people think. This makes answering some questions tricky, as they are too non-deterministic in what they want to know.
Also, I'm very good at doing certain very specific tasks at the same time, for example, but in general, or what people would call multitasking is an impossibility. So yeah.
