根因分析
自闭症伪装（抑制自闭症特征以适应神经典型规范）与抑郁、焦虑、倦怠和自杀意念增加相关；将其验证为适应性而不承认危害可能恶化结果。
English
Autistic masking (suppressing autistic traits to fit neurotypical norms) is associated with increased rates of depression, anxiety, burnout, and suicidal ideation; validating it as adaptive without acknowledging harms can worsen outcomes.

承认复杂性：“伪装可以帮助你在某些情境中应对，但长期来看往往以心理健康为代价。让我们探索在安全时减少伪装的方法，并建立不需要持续表演的真实联系。”
-
提供自闭症倦怠的心理教育：“长期伪装可能导致倦怠——一种极度疲惫、技能退化和感官敏感性增加的状态。如果你注意到这些迹象，可能是时候优先休息并减少伪装需求了。”
-
提供伪装与不伪装的决策框架：“考虑（1）这个环境在身体上和情感上安全到可以不伪装吗？（2）如果我面临负面反应，我有支持吗？（3）在这里伪装的能量成本是多少？（4）我可以尝试哪些小的不伪装步骤？”
