UNMASKING FOR LIFE, DEVON PRICE'S NEW BOOK, IS AVAILABLE TO BUY NOW *** OVER 250,000 COPIES SOLD AROUND THE WORLD 'Outstanding.'' -Fern Brady, author of Strong Female Character 'Reading this felt like being at home - I didn't realise how much I masked. What an incredible book that I know will be re-read many times over.' - Dr Camilla Pang, author of Explaining Humans 'A remarkable work that will stand at the forefront of the neurodiversity movement.' - Dr Barry M. Prizant, author of Uniquely Human 'A powerful argument for radical self-acceptance applicable to all readers.' - Los Angeles Times 'An essential roadmap for autistic people to be themselves.' - NPR Have you, a friend or family member been living with undiagnosed autism? For every visibly Autistic person you meet, there are countless 'masked' people who pass as neurotypical. They don't fit the stereotypical mould of Autism and are often forced by necessity to mask who they are, spending their entire lives trying to hide their Autistic traits. In particular, there is evidence that Autism remains significantly undiagnosed in women, people of colour, trans and gender non-conforming people, many of whom are only now starting to recognise those traits later in life. Blending cutting-edge research, personal insights and practical exercises for self-expression, Dr Devon Price examines the phenomenon of 'masking', making a passionate argument for radical authenticity and non-conformity. A powerful call for change, Unmasking Autism gifts its readers with the tools to uncover their true selves and build a new society - one where everyone can thrive on their own terms.

  1. Ovärderlig
    Daniel Viberg, 18 oktober 2024

    Ovärderlig för autister, männsikorna omkring dem och egentligen alla andra också. Boken förklarar hur autister tvingas "maskera" sina symtom för att överhuvudtaget klara av att navigera sin omvärld. Denna "maskering" är ohållbar i längden och leder till många andra problem som utbrändhet, depression och ångest.
    Har köpt extra kopior för att dela ut till familj och vänner.
    Man får dock ha i åtanke att boken är skriven ur ett amerikanskt perspektiv när den diskuterar vård och politik.
    Ser fram emot uppföljaren, "Unmasking for life".
