Breaking Down, Rebuilding, Unmasking and Finding a New Manual for Your Brain, with Em Rusciano

Description

The last five years have been a revolution in the way Em Rusciano sees herself, as double-whammy diagnoses of ADHD and autism illuminated a lifetime of masking and trying to meet neurotypical standards.

But even amidst burnout and the grief for all her misunderstood prior versions, Em has gained wisdom and learning that is now seeing her rebuild and recognise herself like never before.

In this conversation, Em and Osher discuss:

  • Why her performance on the Masked Singer was so ironically therapeutic 
  • How her life, relationships and understanding has changed 
  • What we all should understand about neurodiversity, along with tips for navigating the world with a neurodivergent mind

Hear plenty more of Em’s story in her new book Blood, Sweat and Glitter
