Autism Unmasked

Masking (or camouflaging) involves hiding or suppressing autistic traits as a way to appear more neurotypical. This can come with many consequences, especially when it comes to making a diagnosis.

This study aims to determine whether camouflaging is unique to autism by comparing camouflaging between people with autism, ADHD, and a comparison group.

This review synthesized research on psychosocial factors associated with camouflaging and its relationship with mental well-being in autistic and non-autistic people.

Neurodiversity is the concept that there is natural variation in how human brains function. It refers to neurocognitive differences such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and more that have both strengths and struggles.
