About Course
DEEP DIVE · Identity & Life Stage
Suggested pacing: 3 weeks
Estimated learning time: 3–5 hours
Flexible study estimates include reading, practice and assessment, not academic credit or supervised clinical hours. Real-life experiments may span additional calendar days.
Reduce costly masking strategically without treating disclosure or visible difference as automatically safe. This course expands on related concepts introduced in Navigating Late Diagnosis Neurodivergence. You do not need to take that course first; this course can be taken independently. Some shared EBiT concepts are revisited, with a different focus and application.
Prerequisite: No prior Academy course required.
Developed from Angela Fisher, PhD’s EBiT program framework.
