What Is Masking Neurodivergent
The Weight of Masks: A Personal Journey
As I reflect on my childhood, it's like peering through a foggy window into a world colored by the constant struggle of grappling with ADHD and dyslexia. Despite these formidable challenges, I pressed forward, propelled by a relentless spirit that refused to yield. However, as the sands of time carried me into adulthood, I found myself unwittingly slipping into a role dictated by societal norms. This subtle transformation, amplified during the tumultuous dance with a narcissistic partner, illuminated the profound weight of the mask I wore. I know we all wear a mask depending on the setting but Masking for a neurodivergent person hits differently.
