Unmasking Autism

Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity
Book • 2022
In 'Unmasking Autism', Dr. Devon Price explores the lives of Autistic individuals who have spent their lives masking their true selves to fit societal norms.

The book delves into the reasons behind this masking, its impact on mental health, and the journey towards embracing one’s authentic identity.

Drawing from personal experience, history, social science research, and personal profiles, Price offers a compassionate guide for Autistic people seeking to unmask and for allies looking to support them.

The book includes practical exercises such as celebrating special interests, cultivating Autistic relationships, reframing Autistic stereotypes, and rediscovering one’s values.

It is a powerful call for acceptance and understanding, making it an essential read for anyone interested in neurodiversity and mental health.
