AUDHD MASKING + UNMASKING | PROs +CONs | Late Diagnosed | Authentic + Congruence Identity

AUDHD MASKING + UNMASKING | PROs +CONs | Late Diagnosed | Authentic + Congruence Identity. My experiences so far! In this deeply personal episode on AuDHD masking and unmasking, I explore the pros and cons of camouflaging as a late-diagnosed autistic + ADHD woman and what it truly means to rediscover your authentic, congruent identity after diagnosis. If you’ve received a late Autism diagnosis, ADHD diagnosis, or identify as AuDHD and feel confused, grieving, angry, or unsure who you are beneath decades of people-pleasing, perfectionism, trauma responses, burnout, anxiety, or breakdown, this conversation is for you. I share my lived experience of masking, the mental and physical toll of long-term camouflaging, why unmasking can shift relationships (and sometimes lead to loss), and how to begin reclaiming your true self with self-compassion, nervous system awareness, and emotional safety. 🌸 This channel supports late-diagnosed neurodivergent women navigating identity shifts, self-acceptance, boundaries, CPTSD recovery, self-parenting, and authentic living post-diagnosis. If you are questioning who you are when you stop managing how you’re perceived, and are ready to explore unmasking safely and intentionally, you are not alone here🌷 🌺Subscribe for unmasked chat about AuDHD, mental health and self-actualisation 🌷 Contact: clare@theactualisingwoman.co.uk for requests, feedback, questions and stories for the show Timestamps: 0:00 INTRO 0:55 Beginning of Unmasking + PHASE 1 3:32 Watching, Noticing, Spying 6:42 Synopsis 9:09 Books 9:35 6 Things I've Learned 12:14 No.1 13:04 No.2 13:28 No.3 14:16 No.4 18:26 No.5 19:55 No.6 20:20 Why Was I Masking? 22:34 Caused Mental + Physical Harm 29:37 Reminding Myself 34:14 Food For Thought Question 35:32 Quick Recap + End REFERENCES: Rudy Simone 2010 Aspergirls Empowering Females with Asperger Syndrome Kat Brown It’s Not a Bloody Trend – Understanding Life as an ADHD Adult 2024 Bessel van der Kolk The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma 2014 WATCH MY PLAYLIST HERE:    • The Actualising Woman   ☕Girl needs COFFEE!
