Ben Waber reviewed Unmasking Autism by DeVon Price
A Research-Driven Exploration of Autism with Some Self-Help Sprinkled In
4 stars
This is an excellent look at the vast range of experiences of autistic people and the masking behaviors people engage in to appear neurotypical to the world. Price examines the costs of this masking and describes strategies for both individual and systemic unmasking strategies. There's also great analysis of the medicalization of autism and the problems with "treatments" such as ABA. Highly recommend
