Masking in Neurodivergence: Energy Mapping and Burnout Prevention Masking is a common strategy many neurodivergent people use to navigate environments that were not designed with their needs in mind. While masking can support participation in workplaces, schools, and social settings, it often requires sustained cognitive, emotional, and sensory effort. In this episode of Neurodivergence Matters, Stephen Harrison introduces a practical framework called energy mapping. The approach helps people recognise patterns in their daily activities, identify where energy is restored or depleted, and make small changes that reduce the risk of burnout. The aim is not to remove challenge from life, but to build awareness and create days that include both effort and restoration. If you’re exploring ways to better understand neurodivergence in yourself or others, Thrival Coaching provides resources designed to support curiosity-led learning and practical understanding.
