ANECDOTE

Nighttime Recording Spiral

  • Dermot described recording podcasts only at night during lockdown and sitting 12 hours unable to press record.
  • He framed this as loss of control that felt shameful and drove him to seek assessment for neurodivergence.
ADVICE

Create A Separate Workspace

  • Rent a dedicated workspace to rebuild routine and reclaim control over your day.
  • Blindboy credits his new office with restoring sleep, productivity, and self-esteem.
INSIGHT

Why Neurodivergence Often Appears Late

  • Masking lets neurodivergent adults compensate for social expectations for years.
  • That compensation delays recognition and diagnosis until later adulthood.
