    Unmasking and Mental Health: Balancing Safety and Freedom

    Elizabeth speaks with AuDHD community member Agata, who discusses how their process of unmasking autism was initiated and how it progressed over the past three years. The complexities of this undertaking are explored, including the tenuous balance between safety (emotional, financial, professional, etc) and freedom. The implications of masking for mental health are outlined and taking a first step toward unmasking is encouraged. To further explore this topic, we suggest the books "Unmasking Autism" by Devon Price, "Untypical" by Peter Wharmby, and "Unmasked: the Ultimate Guide to ADHD, autism and Neurodivergence" by Ellie Middleton.
