 Superficially, the person is successful, has friends. It's also a way in camouflaging your autism and imitating others. It's being included and avoiding being bullied and teased because you're part of the group. However, you're not the authentic self. You become the person necessary for the situation. It's absolutely exhausting. And that energy depletion and lack of authenticity often leads to depression and psychological issues in adolescence. And it's okay to be you. Explain yourself. Don't camouflage who you are. Actually be there and say, I'm the sort of person who rather than become someone else who's not you.
