Neuroquid's definitions
The term Toxic Masking comes from the Neurodivergent community and is most commonly associated as an issue impacting Autistic.
However, it can flexibly be applied to any marginalized group that is put in a position of pressure or threat to mask their identities and/or conform to provided stereotypes for acceptance and/or safety.
All true forms of "Masking" are Toxic Masking.
Which is not to be confused with "Disguising". A chosen and intentional tool used to get things done in a non-exclusive world.
Or being "Closeted" as a personal journey that can include protection from threat to ones safety, or personal comfort.
These are often harmful to the person too, however not as hardly of excluding as the alternative. These are constructs that must be undone so such compromises needed be made at the cost of emotional labor from Neurodivergent & other marginalized communities.

Neurodivergent Economics focuses on investing in Neurodivergent-Owned businesses, community development, possession of land, education, startups, patents, or other resources that support the Neurodivergent Economy.
Supporters of Neurodivergent economics boycott businesses & non-profits that are ableisitic, predatory, or harmful to Neurodivergents or other impacted demographics.
Other forms of direct or indirect support may include related policy or advocacy work, activism, or campaigns for things such as demanding acceptance & raising awareness of information important to Neurodivergents or their communities.
(To prevent appropriation, it should be noted that this is inspired by the wisdom Black Economics / Black Capitalism and should NEVER be used in a manner that detracts from or robs the Black Economy. Furthermore, it is this author's opinion that when Neurodivergents cannot find a fellow Neurodivergent to spend their money with, one might do well to seek that product or service from the Black Community in support and solidarity for fellow impacted demographics. This also honors where our communities intersect for the many ignored, under-diagnosed, and much less frequently assessed Black Neurodivergents."
