Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity by Devon Price

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

As a late-identified autistic person, I am so glad this book exists! It shifts between general information and disability theory, interviews with autistic folks, personal anecdotes, self-reflection exercises, and tips and tricks, all unabashedly centering autistic folks' comfort, safety, and joy. I felt deeply recognized and supported, and yet challenged to really, critically consider how I can create a more fulfilling and sustaining life that requires less masking and more authenticity. I am already planning to get at least one more copy for another (most likely) autistic friend when it formally releases in April, but this is a wonderful resource for anyone, autistic or allistic, who wants a more holistic, compassionate, and just understanding of supporting themselves and the autistic folks they know or may meet!
