This is a recent video I found very interesting, discussing an idea of a link between being autistic (especially high masking) and ego death. Does the video resonate with you? What do you think?

    I didn’t know what ego death was - ripped these definitions from mindbodygreen

    the ego is a sense of self that you develop at a young age […] “It’s how you identify and what you identify with—like who you are as a person, whether it’s gender identity, what your beliefs are, your morals,” Nuñez explains.

     

    Ego death is the (often instantaneous) realization that you are not truly the things you’ve identified with, and the “ego” or sense of self you’ve created in your mind is a fabrication. In some instances, it can offer a profound feeling of peace and connectedness with all that is, as the walls of separation the ego creates come crumbling down.
