- Masking doesn't masking change the judgements that non-autistic peers made towards autistic people’s social behaviours

- Masking makes you feel disconnected from your true sense of identity

- Masking may delay the identification of one's autism and ADHD and delayed ADHD diagnosis has been linked to, among others, substance abuse

- Masking ADHD can lead to perfectionism and lowered self-esteem and isolation and feelings of loneliness
