Neurodivergent Shame Toolkit

Chronic shame in neurodivergent adults isn't the same as RSD. It's a persistent background belief — I am defective, I am too much, I am fundamentally wrong — formed through years of being punished for traits that were neurological, not moral. This five-page toolkit covers the shame-mask-collapse cycle, why CBT and affirmations don't reach it, and what trauma-informed approaches actually help.
