Episode 6: Masking

Episode 6: Masking

In this 6th episode of Neurodivergent Struggles, Dr. Kojo Sarfo and Emily explore masking in neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with autism and ADHD. They describe masking as adopting a socially acceptable persona to fit in, explaining how it can be useful in certain environments but often comes at the cost of exhaustion, burnout, and a gradual loss of identity.The conversation highlights the importance of balance, recognizing that fully unmasking is not always realistic, but neither is constantly suppressing one’s authentic self. The hosts emphasize the value of choosing when to mask and when to be fully authentic, especially in safe spaces where genuine connection and understanding can exist.They also discuss the challenges of feeling misunderstood by family and society, and why many neurodivergent individuals benefit from rejecting one-size-fits-all neurotypical advice. Instead, the episode encourages self-awareness, self-compassion, and building a lifestyle that accommodates both structure and chaos, allowing the neurodivergent brain to function in a healthier, more sustainable way.Find us on all platforms at: @neurodivergentstruggles
