Persona, Masking, and Ziggy Stardust: Why Jungian Archetypes Spoke to My Neurodivergent Soul

When I discovered I was neurodivergent, everything clicked. But it wasn’t until I stumbled across Jungian psychology—and his idea of the Persona—that I truly began to understand the performance I’d been living. And why I’d been so drawn to people like David Bowie, who turned shifting identity into art.
