"Some autistic people feel very different from everyone else, and might feel like they have to hide their autism or try to find ways to cope with the things they find difficult. We call this “camouflaging,” because it is a bit like a chameleon changing the patterns on its skin to fit into the surroundings. The chameleon is still there, but it is trying to look like everything else around it."- Laura Hull / Will Mandy: kids.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/frym.2019.00129 ♥️

For me, Masking is a way of finding comfort in the more difficult social situations. Avoiding a naturally relaxed or sad looking expression, keeping eye contact and talking in different ways depending on the person/group are some of the ways I and others mask. ♥️
-
I didn’t realise I had been doing this until I began creating my ‘Autismus’ series about my own experiences with autism. I hope to begin understanding it more as I grow: I mask, I camouflage, I blend in. ♥️
-
I believe that I have subconsciously done this more into my adult life and less as a child. As I grew up, I started finding insecurities in myself and in the way I interacted with others, so my mind helped me by letting me camouflage into my surroundings to find my place. ♥️
-
I have now learnt that I need to try and avoid relying on my masking. To be unapologetically myself and let go of any fears I have of showing my autism, for it is a beautiful part of who I am. I hope to show my real self to my friends and family, as I believe now that I am comfortable enough to let them love me for who I really am. ♥️

Masking: Introduction. Photo 1 of my Masking triptych. #Autismus
“When I fall, I am down. But I am also at my highest. I am above where I am meant to be. Gravity may continue its need to pull me down, but I will always be weighted with feathers. Ground seems like a faded memory, one that will be but nostalgic til the new memory begins.
That rabbit hole will always be the void where I exist, I may fall to Wonderland or perhaps I will fall to my beginning. I’ll keep searching for what may end the cycle, it’s intrusion on this existence burdens my cherished time. I must pardon myself from this entangled saga, for a great life is promise for me sworn by a thousand pinkies.”- written 21/6/20, 21:10 during the fall. ☁️
Happiness can sometimes not feel promised for me, I get rapid swings in my mood that are to be waited out, I will eventually fall back into happiness.
"As many autistic people have said, it is important to make the rest of the world a friendlier place for autistic people, so they can be themselves and still be accepted. Once this happens, there will be no need for an autistic person to camouflage unless he or she wants to."- Laura Hull and Will Mandy via kids.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/frym.2019.00129

This is the final photo of the triptych, but I am sharing it with you first so you can see the series as it is intended. I shot it with the help of my partner, in a cotton field growing on top of a hill. I decided to use stick on pearls as a way of attempting to camouflage into my surroundings, this is very similar to the way people with autism may camouflage in social situations- this is called Masking.
-
I hope that this mini series can introduce a new idea into your mental dictionary, starting a discussion on something that affects me and I'm sure many others, without it getting much mainstream attention.

This photo acts as the resolution in this three part narrative, where the character (being me in the frame) has found peace with their masking. When you come through the beginning and the conflict stages (which will be shared in photo form soon) and you can feel contentment in yourself. Even though I'm not perfectly blended into the surroundings, it's ok! Because my uniqueness is what makes me shine! It's ok to not fit in, it's ok to try to fit in as well, as certain situations are best handled through masking.

Masking: Resolution. Photo 3 of my Masking triptych. #Autismus
It is important for researchers and doctors to understand more about how people camouflage, because camouflaging might make people unwell. For example, some studies have found that people who camouflage more also have more mental health problems, such as depression or anxiety. It is important that we learn more about why these mental health problems happen, so we can help people to feel better..."

I find that we must reflect on the good and the bad that comes with autism. My experiences vary: I can be so happy and joyous that I will stim (reactions/movements that autistic people may do when there's a sensory overload or an overwhelming sense of joy or stress.) But then I can also feel very low and drained, this can be due to masking for a lengthy period of time; long social interactions and intense 1-1 situations- often with strangers. 💙
-
These opposite sides of the masking spectrum can be very varying and inconsistent. Now that I am aware of masking and how it is something I do, I worry about the implications from this; how will it affect me as I grow further into adulthood: building my own family and my business. Will I be happy, healthy and me? 💙
-
This photo is a portrayal of the conflict that comes with masking. How it feels to be in the centre of masking, particularly for a long period of time. You feel yourself doing whatever you can to successfully mask, to hide any autistic traits that people might judge. I often feel exposed when trying to mask, like I can't hide and am a witness to my own insecurities. 💙

‘Masking: Conflict’ Part 2 of my masking triptych. #Autismus
There was a day, probably about a year ago, when I was talking to someone. It felt like such an intense conversation that everything started blurring, I blurred, what I said, what the other person said and what I thought, all began to sway and stir in my mind.
I've had this idea dreamed up for so long, acting as a mental visual when this feeling would ever come back. I felt a responsibility to myself to create this image, as if I felt I needed to portray this feeling for people and myself to better understand, I also felt the pressure to do it justice. I've begun to let go of that fear a little bit.
The reality is that someone out there (you!) could really find a lot of resonation in the struggles with social situations. I owe it to you to create works like these; ones that tell my story truthfully.

i recently found this painting i did at the age of 3. it was a time before i could fully talk, and when i was at the early stages of my autism diagnosis. my mom and I did this painting together, which was simply a finger painting, using my hands. ♥️
-
i created this triptych as a way of seeing the finger prints of my past on me today. i can face my future because of my colourful past. ♥️
-
title is inspired by my childhood days where me, my sister and my dad would spend all day in our messy room; painting and creating. ♥️

when I was little, I used to want to draw this same scene over and over- it would consist of: a house with little windows, a doorway and a chimney, a big tree growing next to it, a sun shining above and a swing in the garden. 🏡
I used to ask my mom and stepdad over and over again to draw it for me, and I would colour it in. To this day I can still remember that house I envisioned, still finding some warmth and comfort in its imaginary four walls. 🏡
Today I was able to put myself into that dream place, I can now forever exist in there, should I ever need to. ♥️🏡

2022 = 50 years E.M.T.
E.M.T. - Alfred Harth,Nicole Van den Plas,Sven-Ake Johansson - recordings from 1973
laubhuettestudio.blogspot.com/2009/05/emt-vol1.html
laubhuettestudio.blogspot.com/2009/05/emt-vol2.html
1972 wählte ich als Gruppenname für ein Trio drei Buchstaben, nicht die Initialien der Musiker.Ich dachte, dies sei originell und abstrakt zugleich, um das Programm der Gruppe nicht festzulegen.Dann fragten die Leute nach einer Bedeutung und ich liess dies offen, für den eigenen Spielraum. Energy/Movement/ Totale und Extreme Music Troop wurden die Favoriten (von der britischen Gruppe AMM hatte ich bislang und noch viel später nie was gehört).
Sven-Akes Spielweise war einzigartig,wie anrollende Wellen eines Ozeans. Er nannte es „dynamische Schwingungen“. Ich suchte danach, welche Spielweise auf den Reeds damit am Besten korrespondieren könnte und kam dadurch auf Loop-Impros.
Mit Sven-Ake u.a. hatte ich bereits 1968 im Zodiak Berlin die Bühne angesägt.
Mit Nicole baute ich in Belgien ein Bauernhaus aus. Die meisten Konzerte bekamen wir damals dort im Land, mit Kowald, Lovens u.a.. Ich wollte dannn ein festes Trio und lud Sven-Ake hierfür ein, Belgien-Berlin.
Offenheit in der Besetzung – wie schon in meinem vorangegangenen Ensemble „Just Music“ – blieb selbstverständlich.Nicoles Bruder Jean war fast immer dabei, seine Freundin Liliane Vertessen sporadisch, Sven-Ake brachte den Trompeter Helmuth Neumann aus Hamburg mit ins Spiel und aus den Zeiten meines Frankfurter „Centrum Freier Cunst“ stieg der Trompeter Michael Sell ein.
Music is all: Gran Canyon Suite, Grieg, Schumann + Is Happening: Offenheit für bildende Kunst und Künstlerfreunde in E.M.T. + Nicole begann 1973 ein Kunststudium am Städel in Frankfurt, ich hatte mein Studium der Kunstpädagogik gerade abgeschlossen + Sven-Ake schickte konstruktive Cassettenbriefe mit neuen Ideen.
Ich träumte von einem E.M.T.-Musikzirkus,mit dem wir übers Land ziehen und wir bauten in Frankfurt bereits Objekte hierfür, sogar einen Roten Elephant zum Einsteigen. Rot, nicht nur wegen der brodelnden Studentenbewegung. Es ging mir auch um Ekstase/Mystik auf den E.M.Touren.
Mein Ersatzdienst 1973/4 in der Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie Uniklinik Ffm – Fälle von Autismus, Schizophrenie, Progeria etc.; ich betrieb dort bescheidene Musiktherapie - ausgedehnte Touren waren für E.M.T. daher nicht möglich.
Bei aller Liebe zum amerikanischen Free Jazz standen wir eindeutig auch in Europäischer Musik Tradition. Intendiert war auch, haarscharf an deutschen Volksliedern vorbei zu segeln: „Guten Abend,gute Nacht“, “Ein Männlein steht im Walde“ , Pierre Lunaire, ein Waldhorn, die Schalmei, der Zitherschrammel neben einigen Klassikermotiven. Wobei Nicole sehr geschmackvoll eine gute Portion Minimalismus mit ihrer Elektroorgel einfügte. Flohmarktgeschäfte und ein kleiner Autohandel brachten mir auch mehr brauchbar-skurrile Instrumente ein.
Autos - von Mol & Hamburg (Sven-Ake war umgesiedelt) nach Frankfurt und von dort zum Gig – waren wichtige Voraussetzungen: Nicoles Citroen 2CV Kastenwagen (station wagon), Sven-Akes VW Beetle und später mein Renault R4. Jean und Liliane kamen sogar manchmal im Schneckentempo mit ihrem tonnenschweren, basinfarbenen Wolga (GAZ 21) von Belgien nach Frankfurt.Und für die Auftritte in Berlin gings halt nur über die Transitautobahn durch die Zone,vorbei an der VEB-Werbung „Plaste mit Elaste“ ; sowieso waren alle europäischen Grenzen noch kontrolliert.
Dies alles und viel mehr waren die Koordinaten bevor ich mich mit 25 über Gunter Hampels Galaxie Dream Band nach New York beamte, wo mich mein Freund Perry Robinson mit: “Maestro“ empfing, was mich glatt aus den Socken haute.
Alfred Harth
E.M.T. was an international experimental and free improvisation music group active predominantly from 1972 to 1975. The core members included German multi-instrumentalist Alfred Harth, Swedish drummer and composer Sven-Åke Johansson, and Belgian keyboardist and artist Nicole Van den Plas, with various guests joining over time. The group's roots go back to 1968, when Harth and Johansson performed together at the Zodiak Free Arts Lab in Berlin. By 1971, Harth had moved to Belgium and formed collaborations with Van den Plas and others in the free improvisation scene around Antwerp and Bruges.
The name E.M.T. was chosen in 1972 as a trio name not linked to the members' initials, leaving its meaning open to interpretation, with favored expansions including Energy/Movement/Totale, Extreme Music Troop, and others. Their music was notable for ecstatically free improvisation, growing increasingly diverse by incorporating dada-like spoken words, European classical motifs, and unconventional instruments like electric zithers, bowed cymbals, and minimalistic electric organ. The group also embraced openness in their ensemble, inviting frequent guest musicians and blending various artistic expressions including visual arts.
They performed extensively across Germany, Belgium, and other European venues, with notable concerts at Hamburg's Fabrik, Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, and the Festival Antwerp. Their connections extended to the influential free jazz and improvisation scenes of Wuppertal and Frankfurt, and they had a strong integration of European musical tradition with their experimental approach. E.M.T. also created subformations like "Heidnische Klänge" and fostered a vision of a traveling music circus combining music and performance art.
E.M.T. recorded for the label SAJ, a label founded by Johansson and later merged with FMP. Their discography includes titles such as "Canadian Cup of Coffee" (1974) and later archival releases like "E.M.T. 1973." After 1975, the members moved on to diverse projects, with Harth continuing to explore punk jazz and other forms. Their music remains influential in the experimental and free improvisation genres, emblematic of a rich period of European avant-garde music in the early 1970s.

"Ich bin einfach Autistin, ich leide nicht an Autismus. Viel mehr leide ich darunter, dass „autistisch“ als Schimpfwort verwendet wird und viele mit Vorurteilen zu kämpfen haben. Ich empfehle Journalist*innen die Interviewten zu fragen, ob sie an ihrer Behinderung leiden, oder eher unter den Umständen, anstatt einfach die Floskel hinzuschreiben."
Denise Linke
Autorin und Herausgeberin
„Leidmedien.de“ will Journalist*innen für die Berichterstattung über Behinderung sensibilisieren. Floskeln wie „an den Rollstuhl gefesselt“ oder „trotz der Behinderung” reduzieren behinderte Menschen auf ihre „Defizite“ und verstärken abwertende Bilder von Hilflosigkeit und Leid. „Leidmedien.de“ ist ein Projekt von behinderten und nicht behinderten Medienschaffenden, die andere Perspektiven eröffnen wollen.
