In this episode of Gifted With ADHD, Juliet sits down with award-winning author and social entrepreneur Alex Winstanley to tackle the exhausting reality of ADHD masking. Diagnosed with ADHD in his late twenties, Alex shares how the constant pressure to "fit in" and pretend to be someone else takes a massive toll on neurodivergent individuals, often culminating in severe burnout. Moving away from the idea that neurodivergent people need to be "fixed," Alex and Juliet discuss why the true responsibility lies in proactively changing our environments. They explore how shifting the burden of inclusion to society—rather than waiting for individuals to break under the weight of masking—can create accessible spaces where everyone can thrive as their authentic selves. Alex also shares insights from his upcoming book, Do Disability Differently, and his vital work empowering disabled individuals through lived experience.
