Now that I am dressing to please myself, I'm developing an actual fashion sense. Well, more of a sense of "what is elegant."
It truly is a style and an attitude. And while I have my artist partner to help me with color matching, none of this ever clicked with me the way the idea of elegance does now.
Under these new rules, with my health stabilizing, I will Marie Kondo my entire wardrobe.🎉
Then see what I have.

"So I am just going to put it out there for people who know more to tell me whether I am on the right track or not." - this seems like an invitation for #autists to comment on her Crooked Timber post
Autistic people with well-developed masks may do better in certain situations compared to autistics without masking skills. Still, masking may come with a heavy cost it's time to Take the Mask Off – #TakeTheMaskOff https://neurodivergentrebel.com/2018/07/23/time-to-take-the-mask-off-takethemaskoff/

I would recommend exploring the #TakeTheMaskOff campaign from last year to see the different yet similar ways we mask. The underlying goal was to try to explain to the allistic world all the work we are doing every moment of every day. The hope is we might receive more understanding and perhaps more acceptance and not have to work so hard. Maybe others could meet us somewhere in the middle.

My post from Week 6 of the #TakeTheMaskOff campaign examines more of the impact masking has had on me and how I'm trying to approach it today.

"It’s hard to resist the impression that they’re numb, or unreal somehow. They are certainly displaying a lack of affect in the face of extreme provocation. Where I am in constant movement; they are somehow still."

There’s been a #TakeTheMaskOff campaign going on the past few weeks that I’ve only been watching intermittently, but it’s an apt tag for the t-shirt I ordered from Printful having *finally* arrived just now, and I’ll selfie it in a bit so you can see what I mean.
Looks like it's that time again. Sound off so the folks who just got here can find you, if you want.
