Are You Masking Your ADHD/AuDHD?

EPISODE 34: ADHD/AuDHD & MASKING - PART 1

The new episode of “You Are A LOT” (an ADHD/AuDHD podcast) is out now on your favorite podcast app like Apple Podcasts or Spotify or click here for more listening options.
​
This week I’m talking about MASKING.

And not the fun kind where you wander around the neighborhood knocking on doors asking people to give you bite-sized candy bars. I’m talking about the conscious or unconscious suppression of our natural behaviors, traits, and tendencies. We do this to conform to a neurotypical society and avoid stigma

I know. Sounds draining, right? That’s because masking IS draining.
