ADHD, Autism & the Hidden Cost of Masking | Ellie Middleton
Description
This week I'm chatting to author, speaker and neurodiversity advocate Ellie Middleton, whose brilliant book Unmasked has helped thousands of people better understand what it really means to be autistic or ADHD.
We talk about what it feels like to receive a late diagnosis, the exhausting reality of masking, why so many women go undiagnosed for years, and how finally understanding your brain can completely change the way you see yourself. Ellie also shares her experience of burnout, people-pleasing and learning to build a life that works with her brain, rather than constantly fighting against it.
