Need Research on Masking at School vs. Home

[MamaElyse]

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm trying to collect research about neurodivergent children masking or hiding their dysregulation at school only to explode and let it all out at home.

 

I'm trying to education my son's school and IEP team about this topic but whenever I Google it, I can find are topics about face coverings and that's not what I'm looking for.  I'm already planning on referencing Ross Greene but I'd love more specialists and scholarly articles or documented cases to share.  This is exactly what I think is going on with my son at school.

 

Thank you!

I googled 'masking of disability in neurodivergent students' and got a good number of hits.

You might also want to go to Google Scholar & search but I found that the results there tend to requires a subscription ($$).
