  • Understanding and Overcoming Masking in Neurodivergent Individuals
    Tiffany explains that masking involves "suppressing neurodivergent traits to fit social norms," leading to fatigue and anxiety. It's common in autism, ADHD, and social anxiety. Signs include rehearsed interactions and exhaustion. Strategies like ACT, self-compassion, and sensory-friendly environments can help. Addressing masking is crucial for mental health and fostering inclusive societies.
  • Unmasking Autism: Signs of Undiagnosed Autism in Adult Women
    Tiffany highlights "camouflaging behaviors" and "nuanced social interactions" as key signs. She notes that women may have "socially acceptable special interests" and face emotional regulation challenges. These insights aim to demystify autism in adults and promote necessary support.
  • Understanding Burnout vs. Depression: Key Differences and Management
    Tiffany highlights that burnout stems from overwhelming demands, leading to exhaustion and detachment, often resolved by changing circumstances. "Depression, however, is a diagnosed condition with chronic sadness and hopelessness," requiring medication and therapy. While burnout can contribute to depression, they require different management: burnout through self-care and boundary-setting, depression through comprehensive treatment.
