Talk:Autistic masking

Autistic Masking - expansion
Hi @TempusTacet just saw your mention from the other day! Thanks for moving masking to a new page; I was gonna do it a while back, knowing it was notable enough--I must've forgotten it for a while

I just wrote a paper on ABA, which is basically traumatic masking school that's considered the only "evidence-based" autism intervention in the United States so it's many parents' only option. I have a ton of sources from that I'm gonna use for this article. Unburnable (talk) 21:34, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @Unburnable, Thanks! I'm looking forward to your additions to the article. I'm halfway through the book by Sedgewick, Hull & Ellis, which is both a great summary of the available knowledge and should be helpful to find a suitable structure for the article.--TempusTacet (talk) 21:54, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * A great book (so far at least) is “Unmasking Autism” by: Devon Price 68.42.226.58 (talk) 18:21, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * It's already listed under "Further reading" but due its concept as a self-help/advice book I don't think its suitable as a source, except for the paragraph on unmasking where it is currently referenced.--TempusTacet (talk) 18:37, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Hiya @Unburnable, mind linking me the paper when it's out? It sounds interesting and I'd be stoked to check it out. :-) Cflam01 (talk) 09:12, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Scope: Neurodivergent masking
Lead para says “also referred to as […] neurodivergent masking”. The article doesn’t cover masking in other (non-autistic) neurodivergent populations in any depth, other than a brief mention of a study that compared masking between autistic and non-autistic populations. Given the research cited and considerable literature on ADHD and masking (brief google search shows lots of results), neurodivergent masking more broadly (including in autism) is probably worthy of its own article. Suggest that we need to either increase the scope of this article to either

1. explicitly include all neurodivergent masking (I.e. change the title and change the lead to say “including autistic masking” or similar), can then add a section on autistic masking

or

2. remover mention of neurodivergent masking and create separate article.

Or

3. Combination of the above - create neurodivergent masking article that focuses on the links with separate articles going into more depth on each neurodivergent population.

or

4. leave it as is

Option 1 is good as there are clearly strong links between masking in different neurodivergent populations, however this would require much more work than option 2. Personally I favour option 3 as it will be easy enough to build up without any significant impact on the quality of the article(s) in the process.

Comment with thoughts or any other ideas, not sure when/if I’ll have time to do any of this. John wiki: If you have a problem, don't mess with my puppy... 18:49, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
