Why autistic people seem two-faced

Do you have a friend or a family member who is autistic and often seems like they are being fake or two-faced? Autistic people can seem two-faced when they engage in what is known as "autistic masking"

For further thoughts on the subject please have a look at my article for The Aspergian here: https://theaspergian.com/2019/05/20/why-autistic-women-seem-two-faced/

Many autistic women I have spoken to have agreed that we have often been perceived to be two-faced or even manipulative. For us, this can be totally baffling when our intention was never to offend anyone, let alone end friendships over a misunderstanding.

In today’s video I explore why I think that is, the concept of autistic masking, people pleasing, and how we can encourage greater communication between autistic and non-autistic people.
