I don't think I have autism but I do a couple of masking things regularly:
When I write work emails, I check them over again before sending to add in something at the start like "hope you're well/had a good Christmas/whatever" because it just doesn't occur to me otherwise.
I found baby and toddler group casual chit chat really hard so I observed for a while and now consciously work through a list of things to say- e.g. I try to find something nice to say about their child (ig their is awful, maybe their clothing instead)
I think of this stuff as normal but I am not sure it is
