Those of us who are good at masking may look to NT others as though we are less in need of accomodation or support, but that is only because of our masking. Those who tell us "you don't look autistic" generally are not the ones who see us when we melt down at the end of an exhausting day performing our humanness in disguise. And unfortunately, those who do see us melt down are not necessarily understanding of how to support us.
