Unmasking: Embracing ADHD, Autism, & Queerness
June 15 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm MDT
Masking can be exhausting. For many neurodivergent and queer individuals, years of hiding traits, identities, or needs can lead to burnout, anxiety, disconnection, and loss of self. 🌈🧠
Join Autism Edmonton for Unmasking: Embracing ADHD, Autism, & Queerness featuring Amanda Montey (they/them). This affirming virtual learning session will explore the experience of masking across ADHD, autism, and queer identities while highlighting pathways toward authenticity, self-acceptance, community, and thriving.
Participants will gain insight into how societal expectations shape masking behaviors, the emotional impact of constantly adapting to fit in, and how embracing neurodivergent and queer identities can support well-being and connection. This session is valuable for neurodivergent individuals, caregivers, professionals, educators, and allies wanting to better understand these intersecting lived experiences.

| Event Listing & Graphics Disclaimer PrideEdmonton.ca is a free, unfunded, volunteer-run community listing platform. We do not generate revenue from our services and do not receive funding or grants from community or government sources. All events and accompanying graphics are submitted by independent organizers. Many organizers operate with little or no budget and may use a variety of tools—including AI-assisted design—to create their materials. PrideEdmonton.ca does not create, edit, review, or regulate submitted graphics, nor do we assess how they are produced. Our focus is on ensuring broad visibility of the many Pride events happening across the region. Showcasing this diversity of programming helps build awareness, strengthen community connection, and foster greater understanding and acceptance. Responsibility for all submitted content rests solely with the event organizers. |
