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 dont 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.

Although there are parts of the book that can be interesting and useful, and it does a good job of giving visibility to autistic people from different racial backgrounds or gender identities, the author seems intent on portraying autism as one of the best things that can happen to a person, something that should be embraced, celebrated, and advocated for. He also suggests that all of the difficulties autistic people face stem from a society that fails to understand us and it is them who must adjust to us. In doing so, he overlooks the fact that autism exists on a spectrum and that there are intrinsic aspects of the condition that can have a negative impact on a person's life and on those around them, regardless of how much external support they receive. Frankly, I found this approach rather frivolous. Also, the book devotes most of its attention to the experiences of minority groups, especially LGBT people (a community to which the author belongs, ahem), and this often distracts from the main subject. Overall, I would recommend other books on autism rather than this one.
