ADHD Masking: How do we Unmask?

'ADHD Masking can involve consciously or unconsciously adopting behaviours that align with neurotypical expectations, often to fit in, avoid judgment, or meet societal demands.' But how do we unmask? Well first, we need to identify how and where we mask, or rather 'wear different hats to suit the occasion' 

We hope that you can unmask at your nearest ADHDAF+ Support Group in JULY.

Thank you Kim, Tracy and Ruth for this crucial conversation!
