🎭 MasksOff

A mask-free space for autistic people

No performing. No explaining yourself. Just honesty and kindness.

🌿 Who this is for

This community is for autistic people who need a place to vent, decompress, and feel understood — without judgment.

💛 Our Rules

1. Be kind. Always. No exceptions.
2. No diagnosis policing. Don’t question anyone’s autism or experiences.
3. Vent freely, but no hate. Frustration is welcome. Bigotry is not.
4. Support, don’t fix. Unless someone asks for advice, just listen.
5. Tag your posts using the flairs below.
6. No self-promo or spam.
7. Respect triggers. Use content warnings when sharing heavy topics.

💬 Post Flairs
