Lana’s Reviews > Unmasked: The Ultimate Guide to ADHD, Autism and Neurodivergence > Status Update

This book is helping me move into my acceptance phase. I’ve been denying and grieving my diagnosis without even realizing it. 😓

Alexithymia : the inability to differentiate between, identify or describe your feelings.

THERE’S A WORD FOR IT!?!?!?!?! 😭😭

I feel like this book triggers me. Or maybe I just don’t want to hear my life experience repeated back to me. Perhaps if this is my mental state, I shouldn’t be reading? But I need tips on coping. *sigh*

I wonder how many times someone newly diagnosed with ADHD thinks “Man, I really do have ADHD.” when reading material like this. 😞

My ADHD brain and it’s obsession with… justice? I can’t stop thinking how this has the EXACT wording as the “Different Not Less” book I just read. As well as the separate pages with one large quote. Plus this book came out 1 year after Different, Not Less… so I’m trying hard not to be hyper judgmental. I know coincidences can happen
