Dear readers, After my “Why I am a baby” comic, I got inspired and put together several of my ADHD comics and wrote about my neurodivergent experience on Medium. You can read the post by clicking on the preview picture below or here. If you prefer a shorter read, below you can read my new comic “Masking” with a short commentary.
Yes, definitely! I am only now uncovering all the small habits I have developed to deflect criticism that was openly said to me over the years. I'm not even a people pleaser, I just don't know how to deal with these social situations other than pretending, but now at least I have vocabulary (about neurodivergence) for why I am different. It's still a pain to explain it to people who don't know anything about it and the judgment is still there, so masking it is (for now at least)!
Prepoznajem stvari koje me muče kod bližnjih... Hvala ti za stripove ❤
Hvala na komentaru ☺️
I feel like that a lot. Peer pressure, much?
