I suppose, what is masking really?

Okay, there's no real short answer to this, so forgive me if I go on for a little while.

And this has been literally the last 10 years of my life has been focused around this narrative predominantly.

Effectively, masking is something that all human beings do on a very basic and superficial level.

We all adapt and change our behaviours depending on the context that we're in.

So different people we might behave a little bit differently around, different environments we might behave a little bit differently.

Some of that might be because there's kind of all those unwritten social rules that some of us are better than others at picking up and all of those kind of things.

I suppose to finish off then, Ciarán, for anyone listening then, if it's a parent or professional, what can we do to support people that are feeling unsafe and that they have to mask or maybe are unaware of their masking, as you said at the very start? Is there anything that we can do as parents Because parents are always very worried, saying, well, what can I actually do? Is there anything you want to maybe, I suppose, conclude on then for
