Thoughtful perspectives on neurodiversity

Behind the mask. AuDHD, PDA and neurodivergent burnout

In this solo episode of the Neurodivergent Pulse podcast, Laetitia Andrac shares her lived experience as an autistic, ADHD, PDA and twice-exceptional adult. She names the invisible parts of neurodivergent life: burnout from sustained masking, hygiene struggles driven by demand avoidance, and rejection sensitivity that shows up in boardrooms and on award stages. The episode explores what changes when you replace shame with self-understanding and discover that your challenges reflect a world built for neuronormative expectations, not personal failures.
