Hey, just got my match! She’s super cute but she’s in Vermont and I’m on the other side of the country! Will you be adding proximity tracking or anything?

Hey! I’m a big fan of your work as a fellow writer and former public self advocate! I’m really excited to read your book. I’ve been wondering for a while, when/how did masking become such a widespread term discussed in in the ND community? I remember writing about this idea in 2016 and struggling to define it, or give it a name, and when I wrote about it I got a lot of mixed reactions and pushback, but this was 6+ years ago.

And then, If you’ll spare me a second question.

I just got into grad school for my MFA, specifically I hope to do some social practice as well as document the burgeoning ND community, so I’ve been wondering to myself lately:

Proactively, what can the autistic community do to organize and help make it easier and more acceptable for eachother to unmask in the world?

I really appreciate this thoughtful and thorough response! Thank you for your contributions toward community. I’m looking forward to a more autistic future.
