AFAIK the pattern-rec is a first-order effect not a masking one?

This is Mayposting not Generalisationposting but I think the ways in which I am intelligent and the ways in which I am more childish are intrinsically linked. I think I couldnāt have one without the other

I heard masking described as pattern recognition due to rehearsing social situations in your head

This is true but that doesnāt necessarily mean masking causes pattern recognition. It could be the other way around

If you have to mask to fit in you could have a bigger incentive to get better at pattern recognition, assuming itās something you can learn

I dedicate very little brainpower to many things and thus I am very free in many ways

I donāt disagree that this is true, either, Ijust donāt think level of pattern recognition has been correlated with level of masking in my experience, many peopl eI know who donāt mask like at all are also good at pattern recognition

I wonder if people who donāt mask are all capable of masking and are just choosing not to, or there are people who legitimately donāt know how. Do you know?

There are definitely people who are ~incapable, I think a lot of people maybe could adapt if it was life-or-death but I think most people could adapt to most htings if it was life-or-death

And also a lot of hte pattern recognition stuff shows up before masking is even a concern in life. Like learning to read super early is associated with autism sometimes and I donāt think masking is much a concern of a 2-year-old

True. Masking is entirely just adapting to your environment. People need to adapt differently depending on their luck of where and when they were born, and what their peers are

Iāve been experimenting with masking less. It feels more comfortable. I think I have been adapting in ways which are no longer useful to me. They helped me survive childhood and fit with my family and peers but are getting in my way now. I feel exhausted of doing it and not just being literal

I feel tired of playing characters in general. I need a break from acting
