I would love to have seen my reaction to this video before I realized I was autistic. It would have been an interesting experiment.
At the time, I didn't realize I was masking. I thought everyone did that. You have your public persona that acts "normal" and you have your private persona that is fun and carefree. Nope. Apparently, most people act similar in private as they do in public. There are topics and certain behaviors that are done only in private, such as intimacy and hygiene, but the general behaviors are pretty much the same from what I hear.
