COMMITMENT TO EQUITY AND INCLUSION Bridging Research and Lived Experience: An Interview During Brain Awareness Week in March 2025, our ANA Special Interest Group Leaders delivered a series of thought-provoking talks exploring brain health and their specialist topic areas. One standout session was Tijana’s Talk: “Beyond the Mask — The Neuroscience of Fitting In.” Here is a brief summary: Have you ever felt the need to hide parts of yourself to fit in? For many neurodivergent individuals, this is a daily reality—a practice known as masking. It means suppressing who you are to meet societal expectations—a survival strategy that comes at a high cost. In this talk, presented in an interview format, Tijana with her guest Fabienne Vailes explored what masking really looks like, why it happens, who is more likely to mask, and how we can create spaces where everyone feels safe to be themselves. What to Expect • Real Stories: Hear firsthand experiences of masking shared by the interviewee, describing what it’s like to hide parts of yourself to fit in with societal expectations. • Shared Struggles: Understand why masking can be especially challenging for neurodivergent individuals, and how we all experience masking in different ways, and how it can feel in everyday experiences. • Simple Science: Learn how masking affects different regions of the brain and why it’s so exhausting—brought to life by personal insights and how it impacts daily life • Research: Discover the latest evidence, woven throughout the talk, comparing research findings with lived experience to make this topic both scientific and relatable.
