The provided text is an article titled "Why 'Masking' is Literally Killing Us: The Physiological Cost of Pretending to Be Neurotypical," authored by Dr David P Ruttenberg, a Neuroscientist & AI-Ethics Specialist. This piece explores the negative health impacts of "masking," where neurodivergent individuals suppress authentic behaviors to appear neurotypical, citing that this chronic pretense leads to spikes in stress hormones and increased risks for fatigue and hypertension. The author promotes the use of wearable technology and biosensors to provide objective data for self-advocacy, enabling individuals to secure accommodations and practice "micro-unmasking." Dr. Ruttenberg uses his expertise in neuroscience and AI ethics to encourage authentic self-expression and advocate for a more inclusive environment, supporting his claims with cited research on the physiological costs of masking. Ultimately, the article serves as a call to action for neurodivergent adults to embrace authenticity and use data to advocate for their well-being.
