## Identity & Masking — Lunchtime Online
Join us from wherever you are — desk, sofa, bed, or a quiet corner you’ve claimed for the hour. Camera off for listening or on for chatting — whatever works best for you on the day.
Masking can be part of everyday life for neurodivergent people — at work, in relationships, and out in the world. It can help us get by, but it can also be tiring, confusing, and make it hard to know who we really are underneath it all.
This session explores identity and masking for neurodivergent adults, grounded in lived experience rather than expectations or labels.
### We’ll explore
✨ Common experiences
Masking and unmasking, people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, late identification, identity shifts, and the sense of not quite fitting anywhere.
🛠️ What can help
Noticing when you’re masking, understanding why, experimenting with safer ways to be yourself, and making sense of your identity over time.
