Description

Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity by Devon Price Autism is a source of uniqueness and beauty, but living in a neurotypical world can also be a source of incredible alienation and pain. For many Autistic individuals, masking - hiding their true self to fit in - is a common coping mechanism that can lead to severe anxiety and mental health issues. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Devon Price shares his personal experience with masking and explores the history, social science research, and personal profiles of neurodivergent individuals. Masking is a phenomenon that affects not only Autistic people but also those from marginalized communities, who face additional challenges in being seen and heard. Dr. Price's work sheds light on the struggles of these individuals, who often struggle to discover their true selves for decades. This book is a powerful call to broaden our understanding of neurodiversity and to create a more inclusive society. By sharing his own story and the stories of others, Dr. Price offers a nuanced and compassionate exploration of Autism and masking. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to understand the complexities of neurodivergence and to challenge their assumptions about what it means to be human.
