No really!Trying to unlearn the learnt behaviour of hiding our neurodivergence to ‘fit in’.In this episode we divulge the stats from our Masking insta Poll {@adhdasfemales} before answering the questions ourselves. We share the ways in which we have historically masked ADHD, and explore how to take off the mask. We conclude with our weekly segments; ‘Differences’ to display how differently ADHD can present from person to person and ‘The most ADHD thing we have each done this week’We are so excited to announce our first guest! Dr James Brown from The ADHD Adults Podcast, Focus Mag (a free online magazine about Adult ADHD) and cofounder of the charity: ADHD Adult UK. We will be interviewing him for Episode 5. If unidentified ADHD left you feeling like an Alien YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
