🀯 ADHD and Autism Are More Common Than You Think

🧠 What’s the Difference Between Autism and ADHD?

Wearing a smile on the outside, hiding chaos within.

Especially in women and people of color, these conditions are underdiagnosed. Why? Because many learn to mask — to fake being “normal.”

Here’s what masking looks like:

  • Smiling in social situations while feeling panicked inside
  • Memorizing scripts for conversations
  • Copying people’s tone, expressions, or interests

🧠 Burnout Is Real

"Neurodivergent burnout fatigue"
Exhaustion from trying to appear 'normal' all day.

If you feel like it takes all your energy just to exist — that’s not laziness. That’s neurodivergent burnout. Give yourself permission to rest and rebuild.

πŸ’¬ Final Thought

"Open road and self-discovery"
The journey to self-understanding starts with asking the right questions.

If you’ve always felt “too much” or “not enough” — maybe you’re not broken. Maybe you’re just neurodivergent. Getting clarity can change your life.

You are not alone.
