The phenomenon of masking or camouflaging: We delve into the tendency for girls on the autism spectrum to engage in masking behaviors, wherein they consciously or unconsciously mimic social norms and behaviors to fit in and mask their underlying autistic traits. This fascinating behavior, while serving as a coping mechanism in social situations, can lead to challenges in accurately identifying and diagnosing autism in girls.

We examine how masking behaviors may manifest in various contexts, such as social interactions, communication styles, and sensory experiences, shedding light on the complex interplay between masking and the expression of autistic traits in girls.
