Faking Perfection: Neurodivergent Moms and the Art of Masking


Listen Later

In this episode of "Femme on the Spectrum", Elizabeth discusses the challenges and emotional exhaustion neurodivergent moms face. She explains the concept of 'masking', a facade neurodivergent individuals display to blend into neurotypical society, and how it impacts everyday tasks and social interactions. She also shares her personal experiences, unraveling the realities behind the seemingly perfect facade, and expresses the struggles tied to meeting societal expectations. Elizabeth emphasizes that it's okay not to be perfect and encourages listeners to acknowledge their efforts, regardless of the disorderly moments. She argues that the value of a neurodivergent mom lies not in her ability to maintain a perfect image, but in her tireless effort and the love she offers her family. Lastly, she encourages self-acceptance and self-care while reminding fellow neurodivergent moms that their worth doesn't depend on societal standards.
