Masking is when an autistic person hides their true feelings or behaviours to appear neurotypical. In this episode, Dr. Anita Rakhit explains what masking is, why it happens, and how to recognise it in your child. Learn why masking can be exhausting for autistic individuals and how parents can provide support.
