4.5

some parts of this book felt like Devon came & personally snatched my silly little secret thoughts & feelings out of my head - ohhh they got me good. must read if you’re ruminating on if you’re autistic or neurodivergent…also highly recommend if you have an autistic person in your life.

One of the best "self help" books I've ever read, I really think there's something here for anyone who identifies as neurodivergent or neurodiverse. Especially autistics, but anyone really.

Dr. Price makes relevant observations and connections about how masking affects people on an individual level but also how the issue ties into societal/cultural pressures and discrimination. I love books about psychology that draw these connections because it really shows how mental illness and diverse neurotypes are socially seated. They are not just personal flaws that we should be left to deal with alone.

This book gives realistic examples and tips, without flowery language or euphemism. Recommended for anyone autistic, questioning, non autistic neurodivergent people, or anyone who has someone autistic in their life.

The content warnings I tagged indicate the discussion of the topics mentioned, not that the author or content of the book itself is ableist etc.

Read it as an audiobook, but I think I will re-read it on paper so that I can keep notes.
