For Pete's Sake!<p>Made an unusual discovery this morning. I'm much less prone to overwhelm and more capable of dealing with unexpected and/or stressful situations or crowds when I'm dressed in my suit, waistcoat, cravat etc than I am when I'm dressed in my jeans and t-shirts/fleeces.</p><p>I do mask constantly but I guess the suit is "The Ultimate Mask" .. much like not being able to cope with London ComicCon for years until I went "as someone else" in an outfit. </p><p>Does probably explain why I'm much more tired/drained at the end of the day though.</p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Autism</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AuDHD</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/masking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>masking</span></a></p>
