Yeah.

Yeah, I think a lot of people miss masking and masking gets kind of a bad rap because I think people are concerned that there's not enough research behind it.

And I definitely agree that we need more research to figure out a little bit more about how to measure it and how to make sure that autistic masking, how we can make sure that when we're measuring autistic masking, it's not just the masking that goes along with anxiety and stuff like that, how to kind of tease that apart.

I totally agree with that.

And at the same time, I don't think that means that we throw out the concept of masking altogether.

So I think it's definitely an important construct to consider.

And so if people just give a bunch of quantitative questionnaires and they're only looking at those standardized scores and they're not kind of paying attention to the internal experience of what it's like to be autistic, the work that the person is putting in, maybe how exhausted the person is, then they might really miss the whole picture of what it might be like to be that person.

Yeah.
