English to German: Masking autism General field: Medical Detailed field: Psychology
Source text - English Masking is when an autistic individual consciously or subconsciously masks their symptoms in order to appear neurotypical. Usually but not always, people assigned female at birth tend to mask more often. The following symptoms are usually the ones being masked in the following ways:
-hyperfixations - by pretending to like something way less
-stimming - by suppressing the urge to move or make noise
-eye-contact - by attempting to maintain eye contact despite one's own discomfort
-Sensory issues- by pushing through situations that often can even cause emotional and physical pain
-Social awkwardness: by imitating reactions or facial expressions
->by rehearing or "scripting" future conversations
Translation - German Masking ist, wenn autistische Personen ihre Symptome bewusst oder unbewusst verbergen, um als neurotypisch herüberzukommen. Meistens, aber nicht immer, sind es Personen, die bei der Geburt als weiblich zugewiesen wurden sind, die ihre Symptome auf diese weise verbergen. Die folgenden Symptome werden auf die folgenden weisen verborgen:
-Hyperfixationen - indem man seine eigene Interesse an etwas weniger zeigt
-Stimming - indem man seinen Bewegungsdrang unterdrückt
-Blickkontakt - versuchen, trotz eigenen Beschwerden Blickkontakt zu halten
-Sensorische Probleme - indem man sich durch Situationen zwingen, in denen man teilweise emotionale oder sogar Körperliche schmerzen fühlt
-soziale Ungeschicklichkeit: indem man Reaktionen und Gesichtsausdrücke imitiert
->indem man zukünftige Gespräche probt oder "Skripte" erstellt

Bio
Having grown up with parents from different countries, and partly living in both, learning both languages as well as a third one came naturally to me. Thanks to my expirience with translating between family members ans switching cultures and primary languages every few years, I was able to keep my skills rather fresh. At one point during my childhood, when I had enogh confidence in my English skills, I started watching movies I couldn't find in my other languages in English instead, further improving it enough to the point where I sometimes even think in English. In order to further prove my competence, I decided to write my entire profile in it instead of my Native languages.
