The Masking Games: Your Girl on Fire Is Burning Out - Autism in Girls

She's not trying to win the games. She's just trying to survive them.🏹🪶She's getting straight A's. She's smiling. She's saying all the right things. But behind that perfect performance, she might be falling apart.Welcome to The Masking Games, where autistic masking in girls turns fitting in into a survival strategy—and the price of belonging can be exhausting!This week on Middle School Mary Poppins, we're exposing the invisible world of autistic masking.Why are so many neurodivergent girls overlooked? Why does appearing “normal” feel like a full-time job? And what happens when the girl everyone thinks is thriving is actually fizzling out?Parents, teachers, and middle schoolers—this is one conversation you don't want to miss.Because sometimes your girl on fire isn't shining. She's burning out.💜 Fitting in should never mean disappearing.🎉 THANK YOU, CLEVER FOXES!Thanks to our incredible listeners, Middle School Mary Poppins reached #1 last week, and our new companion podcast, Bedtime Stories for Middle School Hearts, reached #2 in Kids & Family!
