Ana-Maria Butura Santos is a researcher whose doctoral work developed the MASQ (Masking in ADHD Scale Questionnaire), the first ADHD-specific masking scale, through a study of masking in women and girls with ADHD that identified four distinct subtypes of masking behaviour and documented a significant misalignment between DSM diagnostic criteria and the internal experiences women describe as central to their ADHD. Her findings that teacher screening criteria alone would fail to identify many girls with ADHD have direct implications for how schools and clinicians understand identification and support. Her current work extends these findings into practice through the ART-transition co-design project, centring lived experience in the design of ADHD support systems.
