Thoughtful, radical, and vulnerably imperfect. This book feels like a launch pad for self acceptance, for me as a newly diagnosed autistic adult, I didn’t know I needed. Devon offers a nuanced reflection of the roles masking plays across scales from the individual to societal, with a critical social justice oriented eye to how we got here and where we might go. He offers practical advice, and a downloadable pdf reflection workbook, that centers on the autistic (and neurodiverse) experience in all of its complexities. Neither downplaying the outright struggle (and the intersections of many privileges which Devon skillfully outlines and acknowledges) nor letting that overshadow the sheer force of power and possibility we (neurodiverse) hold when we are unapologetically unmasked and united. Devon provides a hopeful yet appropriately radical call for building authentic autistic (and neurodiverse) lives and I cannot wait to listen again and purchase his other titles.
