MASKING and Neurodiverse Relationships Pt.1
This subject is one those that impacts the relationship dynamic in almost every encounter. We felt this was important enough to review and then talk about how this effects the Neurodiverse relationship.
"Masking" is one of the many ways that those of us on the Spectrum hide ourselves from others. We try to hide our autistic tendencies so that people in the Neurotypical world see us as one of them. It's a method of acceptance we have been doing most of our lives with varying degrees of success.
Todays visit we talk about how masking manifests itself and how to handle different scenarios where masking becomes part of things. We also visit some troublesome ideas and some ways to stop masking and just be ourselves in a relationship close to someone else.

Customer Reviews
See the world through someone else’s eyes
We often miss out on a relationship due to simply not understanding how the other person perceives the world. This well-done podcast is a valuable and fascinating opportunity to see through someone else’s eyes and build a bridge of compassion between your heart and theirs. Worth your time if you are neurotypical- or on the autism spectrum.
Excellent content!
I’m so grateful John has committed to producing this podcast. It’s a gem of authentic information. So good!
This is soo good!
As an outsider with a family member on the spectrum, this is an amazing podcast that is informative and relatable. John does a great job explaining the known facts and sharing experiences! I look forward to the next episode every other week!!
