Like many other late diagnosed adults, we have to put up with verbal (and nonverbal) accusations of not actually being autistic, and we are up to here with it. Bianca and Dan offer their experiences around why masking is often confused with faking by some people. If you are not sure how to respond to these claims this is the episode for you.   Bianca responds to Dan's (supposedly) sexist and misogynistic criticism of her wardrobe. In unrelated news Bianca wins Miss Autistic Universe. Read Em Rusciano responds to claims of faking her autism here. She also covers the topic in more detail on her podcast.
