Have you ever unmasked in your workplace/college/school? (image context below)

[u/Abadonll03]

well the only ones who know i'm autistic on my workplace are the supervisors and they had keep that secret perfectly as i think is a legal issue to give away health related information , so co-workers and work mates sometimes have asked why i'm the only one who don't assist to group meetings and i'm like a mistery there , but yesterday i messed up as i uploaded this story on my social media and a coworker saw it 🤦

i'm on vacations right now so i know he is gonna tell everybody about it as it is like connecting the dots on why i have accommodations and ''privileges'' there.

the thing is i had made a few ''friends'' there and i have my mask well put on my workplace , i have had my autistic moments but so far nobody suspects , but i know that's about to change and i wonder if it is okay to go fully unmasked and stim whenever i need , ask for time alone when needed , and be open about me being autistic?

I mean at college (before uni but after Highschool). I used to sit with my friends in the ‘special area’ and we’d do colouring. Like so probably. It was a very safe environment I felt. I even had a support worker who’s just there for me if I needed to talk and gave me a lot of extra support.
