Description

'Deeply insightful and empowering, illuminating a path for those of us searching for authentic connections and relationships [...] This is the book I desperately needed.' -Emily Katy, author of Girl Unmasked

Live your best, unashamedly unmasked Autistic life with this invaluable resource featuring tools for navigating friendships, family, work, love, and life, from the author of Unmasking Autism.

So you've discovered what 'masking' is, how you're doing it, and the potential of embracing your neurodiversity. Now what?

Most masked Autistics have spent a lifetime being told how to perform neurotypically: how to behave, how to carry themselves, what to feel, and how to live. With his previous book, Unmasking Autism, Dr. Devon Price has given them the space and confidence to unmask and embrace their neurodiversity. But no matter where you are in the unmasking process, there is still work to be done. Because Autistic people often fear change, struggle to process unfamiliar situations, and have trauma histories that have conditioned them to avoid conflict, they don't always know how to transform their inner revelations into outer realities. They need more than internal healing - they need practical tools to translate acceptance into assertiveness and interpersonal effectiveness.

In this book, Devon Price helps you advocate for your needs and invent new ways of living, loving and being that work for you, using five key skills:

Acceptance of change, loss, and uncertainty

Engagement in productive conflict, discussion, and disagreement

Transgression of unfair rules, demands, and social expectations

Tolerance of distress, disagreement, or being disliked

Creation of new accommodations, relationship structures, and new ways of living

With powerful insights and transformative resources, Unmasking for Life is a practical guide to living a fully realised Autistic life.

PRAISE FOR UNMASKING AUTISM:

'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 powerful argument for radical self-acceptance applicable to all readers.' - Los Angeles Times
