The neurotypical person assumes their experience of the world is the only correct one. What a load of hooey! We are all different or neurodivergent. Neurodivergence refers to the variations in the human brain, for instance in sociability, learning, attention, mood and other mental functions. WE ALL do things differently! Proper evaluations should only be on a case by case level. Sadly, many are hiding their true natures. They feel that in order to fit into society, they must mimic the behavior of others. This is called autistic masking or camouflaging. Society has left many people with autism feeling ashamed or embarrassed of who they are. This can have devastating consequences. Depression is very high among autistic adults and teens. People with ASD are 3x more likely to commit suicide than those without the disorder! That is a very high number. When any of us hide our true nature, we suffer greatly. If you have been conforming your true nature to “fit in,” those days are over!
