I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about unmasking including what I do, which is help people unmask their true selves, and how this relates to being an embodied being with all of our social, cultural, and integrated thoughts, feelings and “norms”. The truth is, there are a lot of people who claim to help ND individuals unmask to prevent burnout, but if they’re also not unpacking our capitalist, neurotypical society, especially here in America, then they’re setting up their clients to simply burnout again…and again…. and again…
I think it’s time the neurodivergent movement has a long think about what we want to do and how we really want to help one another avoid the trauma and stress of trying to conform to a neurotypical society. Indulge me, if you will, some thoughts on the matter.
