Series 10: Neurodivergent in Wonderland

Episode 162: The Cheshire Smile — Navigating Social Interactions and Masking

Our adventure through “Neurodivergent in Wonderland” leads us to the mysterious grin of the Cheshire Cat—a symbol of presence, disappearance, and the art of showing only what others are meant to see.

In this episode, we explore the complex world of social interactions and masking in neurodivergent lives. Just as the Cheshire Cat appears and vanishes at will, masking often means hiding parts of ourselves to fit in, be understood, or simply feel safe. We’ll discuss why masking happens, the toll it can take, and the moments of freedom that come from letting our authentic selves shine through.

✨ Step into the forest, follow the Cheshire smile, and discover what lies behind the mask.
