As somebody who’s spent most of his life masking to get along in society, this track from The Sisters of Mercy’s 1990 album Vision Thing has always made me feel seen.
Oh, it’s kind of different when you’re there
You can lease the peace of mind
You bought a mask, I put it on
You never thought to ask me
If I wear it when you’re gone
You might like The Warning - When I’m Alone. It’s not necessarily about ASD but it is very much about masking neurodivergence. Also it’s just a banger in general.
