Suppression of behavior leans on executive functioning, which is resource intensive and leaves anyone with EF issues (ADHD, AuDHD, etc.) at a natural disadvantage.
This can lead to a double whammy when suppression is needed alongside cognitively demanding tasks, impacting both.
It kinda blows.

A lot of neurodiverent people learn to suppress their symptoms over time, but they never truly go away.
ADHD'er might suppress external displays of hyperactivity, for example, while autistic folks might suppress sensory issues.
Even suppressed, these can remain major barriers
