自闭症特征在社会情境中的伪装被假设为自闭症谱系障碍（ASC）成年人的常见社会应对策略。老年痴呆症可能会影响诊断，生活质量和长期的结果，但知之甚少it.This定性研究探讨老年痴呆症的经验，在92名成年人与ASC，问题集中在老年痴呆症的性质，动机和后果。专题分析被用来确定关键要素，这为开发一个三阶段模型提供了信息。第一，社交的动机包括融入和增加与他人的联系。第二，掩蔽本身包括掩蔽和补偿技术的组合。第三，逃避的短期和长期后果包括筋疲力尽、挑战刻板印象和对自我认知的威胁。
Camouflaging of autistic characteristics in social situations is hypothesised as a common social coping strategy for adults with autism spectrum conditions (ASC). Camouflaging may impact diagnosis, quality of life, and long-term outcomes, but little is known about it. This qualitative study examined camouflaging experiences in 92 adults with ASC, with questions focusing on the nature, motivations, and consequences of camouflaging. Thematic analysis was used to identify key elements of camouflaging, which informed development of a three-stage model of the camouflaging process. First, motivations for camouflaging included fitting in and increasing connections with others. Second, camouflaging itself comprised a combination of masking and compensation techniques. Third, short- and long-term consequences of camouflaging included exhaustion, challenging stereotypes, and threats to self-perception.
