For Dr. Price and many others, Autism is a deep source of uniqueness and beauty. Unfortunately, living in a neurotypical world means it can also be a source of incredible alienation and pain. Most masked Autistic individuals struggle for decades before discovering who they truly are. They are also more likely to be marginalized in terms of race, gender, sexual orientation, class, and other factors, which contributes to their suffering and invisibility. Dr. Price lays the groundwork for unmasking and offers exercises that encourage self-expression, including: Celebrating special interests; cultivating autistic relationships; reframing autistic stereotypes; and rediscovering your values."--Provided by publisher. 0aAutistic peoplexSocial conditions. 0aAutistic peoplexSocial life and customs. 0aAutismxSocial aspects. 0aNeurodiversity. 0aNeurodiversityxSocial aspects. 0aMasking (Psychology) 0aBehavior modification. 2aPerceptual Masking 2aBehavior Therapy 6aAutistesxConditions sociales. 6aAutistesxMœurs et coutumes. 6aAutismexAspect social. 6aMasquage (Psychologie) 6aModification du comportement. 7aInformational works.2lcgft08iOnline version:aPrice, Devon.tUnmasking autism.bFirst edition.dNew York : Harmony Books, [2022]z9780593235249w(OCoLC)1309086852
