I'm curious how that could work. That peaks my interest because I've known people who have autism and seem great at socializing. I don't have autism, but I'm very socially awkward, and if autistic people can do that I find it inspirational for my own socializing journey.
A podcaster on Radio Free Totebag casually said it, and idk if it was just as a passing joke, or if they were speaking factually. They mentioned a therapist not liking that they still say they're autistic when it's an old diagnosis.
Masking is the term for a neurodivergent person acting as if they are neurotypical. I'm sure there are some analogous behaviors for neurotypical people, but I don't think they're really quite the same thing, honestly.
Masking feels like making fun of NTs but none of them get the joke
