Neurodiversity, Masking & Me - a one hour free taster
Ahead of my new course, ‘A Rough Guide to Neurodiversity and me’, starting November, I will be hosting a free 1-hour introduction to "Neurodiversity, Masking and Me", with Jennifer Moore. Our theme being "`Masking, for you, is like what?".
“To ‘mask’ or to ‘camouflage’ means to hide or disguise parts of oneself in order to better fit in with those around you. It is an unconscious strategy all humans develop whilst growing up in order to connect with those around us.” - Dr Hannah Belcher, author of Taking off the Mask
The structure of how we mask, when we mask and the purposes behind it are diverse, intricate and idiosyncratic.
This taster is an opportunity for each of us to uncover and share what we’re like when we are and when we are not ‘Masking’. It’s an opportunity to learn from each other’s lived experience, rather than from theory or advice.

Clean Learning is a neurodivergent-led organisation; we model diversity in teams and how to make reasonable adjustments at an interactive as well as organisational level. This taster hour is designed to give a flavour of a longer course exploring the neurodiversity across one group, and will explore our patterns of processing, preferences, rights, requirements and responsibilities. In that longer programme, masking and unmasking is just one of several themes we’ll explore, including how we make sense in-the-moment, how we work at our best and at our worst, and how others can support or hinder this.
