Tuesday Night Live: Invisible Disability - Masking in a Neurotypical World (Youth Focus)

We are all different. Some differences can be seen by the naked eye. And sometimes it’s what you don’t see that speaks volumes. Join us for a panel discussion in the OtterBox Digital Dome Theater to explore the challenges of having a hidden disability. Five neurodiverse individuals will discuss what it’s like to live with the bias of “looking normal” while managing a complex inner world. Learn about masking, camouflaging, dismissal, and all the work it takes to hide the differences that make up who they are.  
 
Neurodiverse Youth: Learn about the experiences of young people and emerging adults as they share what it is like to have an invisible disability.
