@PhoenixSerenity I have gotten very angry before at brain “experts”
who insist that “everybody” lies (and anyone who says they don’t is lying). I question their brain expertise if they’re not even aware of the existence if autistic people.

@Cassandra @PhoenixSerenity

I have lied on the very rare occasion, badly, & suffered awful guilt afterwards.

@PhoenixSerenity

Thanks for this. I was aware, but an article like this is handy to have for educational purposes.

@Susan60 Please take with grains of sand as I don't agree with their lie by omissions advice at all.

@PhoenixSerenity

I think their overall message & intent is good, but they’re also promoting masking strategies, & that is one of them. Sometimes we need to mask, for our own safety or that of others, but it’s problematic.
