why does “getting better” for autistic people just mean putting up with things we don’t like

my parents complain that my fussy eating is better at family gatherings bc I eat the things i wont at home, its called forcing myself to eat bc I’ll go hungry otherwise.

apparently I’m getting better at being around people all the time bc my flatmate is around me constantly, like no im just having to mask longer and I have meltdowns daily.

I’m getting better and not flinching when my friend hugs me, I’ve just had to get used to it it doesn’t mean I like it

the only thing we’re getting better at is masking
