What is Masking?
Masking is when neurodivergent people hide or suppress their natural behaviors to fit into neurotypical expectations. It might look like forcing eye contact, scripting conversations, hiding stims, or pretending to understand social rules that feel confusing.
Many neurodivergent adults mask without realizing it. It's a survival strategy that helped you navigate a world not built for you, but it comes at a cost. Chronic masking leads to burnout, anxiety, and losing touch with who you really are.

Masking helped you survive, but it's taking a toll. Here's what research and community experiences tell us:
