    So what you’re saying is, physical violence against kids works to prevent symptoms of ADHD&autism from being too debilitating? Cause I’m not sure that’s the message you wanna put out there.

      “works” is doing some heavy lifting here. ND people having to mask is stressful. It’s not for our primary benefit, it’s for others. It’ “works” the same way that beatings “work” to prevent left-handedness.

          “Everyone is wearing a mask” is papering over the fact that for some that mask weighs way heavier and does damage to their mental health. Masking ND is not the same as having to put on a nice face when you don’t actually feel like it.
