There’s a new YouTuber, Thomasz (I think that’s how it’s spelled). He attempts to breakdown the neurodivergent condition, focusing on Autism.
In this video he explains how those of us lucky enough to be intelligent and self aware enough to see the differences in ourselves, can and will change to fit in. Though for me personally I ended up in the “uncanny valley” group, and was ostracized to an extreme. Masking only works to make others feel better about our presence, and does nothing to make us feel better.
