This episode of The Peaceful Parenting Podcast is a replay of my conversation with Dr. Devon Price from last year’s Flourish with Your Complex Child Summit. We have an in-depth discussion on why neurodivergent people mask and what it is, the “fine at school” phenomena, and the long term effects of heavily masking.
