About this listen
It was only in 1980 that the term 'hysteria', so often applied as a catch-all for emotional women, was removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
These oversimplifications created a context where women became experts at masking - hiding symptoms for fear of dismissal or worse, lobotomy.
Today, we'll be talking about the impact of masking on the diagnosis pathway for neurodivergence.
CW: This episode contains references to mental health issues.
Embrace is supported by its principal partner, Rio Tinto, and Channel 7 Telethon Trust.
