Ngl, I have trouble letting go of the mask when I get a peek behind it.

It's like any kind of adjustment, but when a person masks very well, it's a little tougher to not go "but you don't show it". I still have to consciously make the effort to not say it out loud, even after having a good bit of interaction with a wide range of autistic people over the last decade or so.
