Book HackUnmasking AutismBy Devon Price PhD
In a Nutshell
Social psychologist Devon Price explores autism and the complex issue of 'masking' — the ways neurodivergent people suppress or hide behaviors that don't align with neurotypical expectations, often at significant personal cost.
Favorite Quote
To unmask is to lay bare a proud face of noncompliance, to refuse to buckle under the weight of neurotypical demands. It's an act of bold activism as well as a declaration of self-worth.
