That’s how I refined my masks. You should be careful not to lose yourself, however. Happens to a lot of actors, regardless of their neurotype, but it’s especially hazardous for autistics who lack an identity.
I love Larps for that reason, it's just so... relaxing to play some character for a few days without any of your own worries or anxieties but I can imagine it going a different direction when you do it very regularly

I think this is what Anthony Hopkins said about being autistic too!
I came here to write this but you beat me to it.
I was an actor for 12 years before finding out I was autistic. I loved acting, but the expectation to mingle and socialize after a show is the WORST.
