ADHD, Autism, and the Struggle with Social Masks ft. Faisal Hussain

Living with ADHD and autism presents unique challenges, especially when it comes to wearing social masks. In this video, Faisal, a 3rd generation British Muslim and an ADHD coach delves deep into the struggle of masking ADHD and autism. Reflecting on cultural expectations, trauma, and neurodiversity, he shares personal stories and insights into how these factors shape our daily lives.
Maybe it's the societal pressure or the fear of rejection, but many of us feel compelled to hide our true selves. Faisal discusses the journey of stripping away these social masks, the importance of self-reflection, and how ancestral trauma impacts our present.
