Max To Speak at Diversita's The Cost of Masking Event in May (Online Live Event)

Max is set to make another return to Diversita speaking at The Cost of Masking Event on the 26th of May, where he will once again join the event as a guest speaker, continuing his long-standing involvement with the organisation and its work to champion Neurodiversity and inclusion.

The event will encourage conversation, shared experiences, and practical ideas that can help promote greater inclusion across education, workplaces, and local communities.

Max explores the critical intersection between cognitive difference and mental wellbeing during the UK’s Mental Health Awareness Week.

In this session, Max tackles the hidden toll of constantly camouflaging Neurodivergent traits to fit into Neurotypical workplaces and social environments, explaining how chronic masking directly drives anxiety, depression, and severe burnout.

Moving beyond standard self care advice that rarely works for divergent minds, Max provides actionable strategies for identifying early warning signs of energy depletion, establishing psychological safety, and creating sustainable boundaries that protect your mental health without losing your authentic self.

The Event will take place on May 26th.

This will be part of the Community Meet Up Series and will not be filmed due to Data Protection.

The event is open to community members, allies, and professionals who are passionate about inclusion and Neurodiversity.
