AuDHD masking is weird for me because people think it means βpretending to be normal,β when really it means every fucking day I have to create a dozen more palatable versions of myself for editors, clients, potential clients, casual acquaintances, checkout clerks, neighbors, baristas, and my neighborβs dog who is very judgmental.
And the thing is, I have to face the fact Iβve been sanding myself down so long Iβm not entirely sure where the original shape went.
