What Is Masking? AuDHD, ADHD & Autism + Finding Your Authentic Self

What Is Masking? AuDHD, ADHD & Autism + Finding Your Authentic Self

Are you masking… or have you become a chameleon without even realising?


If you’re AuDHD, ADHD, or autistic, you might have spent years adapting, people pleasing, and changing yourself to fit in — until you’re not even sure who your “real” self is anymore.


In this episode, I explore neurodivergent masking, identity, and what it means to be authentic after years of blending in.


We talk about:

– what masking actually is (ADHD, autism & AuDHD)

– why so many neurodivergent people become “chameleons”

– the link between masking, people pleasing, and burnout

– losing your sense of identity after late diagnosis

– how to start reconnecting with your authentic self


This isn’t about suddenly “unmasking perfectly” — it’s about gently noticing where you’ve been hiding and giving yourself permission to exist as you are.


If you’ve ever thought

“I don’t know who I am without masking…”

this episode is for you.
