Alan, I enjoyed your article and I'm glad you were able to get rid of your masker, that took a lot of courage on your behalf. I'm a first year graduate student in the field of Speech Pathology. It has been my understanding through my coursework, that we need to expand comfort zones of PWS and place PWS in these(uncomfortable) situations to desensitize them to these uncomfortable environments or situations. Do you think the development of technology has created an avoidance or a crutch to PWS to not challenge themselves and desensitize themselves to difficult situations? Also, knowing what you know now about the masker, would you still have used it?
