About this listen
'Unmasking Autism is at once a most deeply personal and scholarly account of the damage caused by autistic (and all) people leading masked lives, and how unmasking is essential to creating a self-determined, authentic life... This is a remarkable work that will stand at the forefront of the neurodiversity movement.' - Dr Barry M. Prizant, author of Uniquely Human
'A powerful argument for radical self-acceptance applicable to all readers.' - Los Angeles Times
'An essential roadmap for autistic people to be themselves.' - NPR
'Price's accessible and compassionate writing shines, and readers will feel encouraged to embrace a new understanding of themselves. Its potential to help masked autistic adults, especially those from systemically marginalized backgrounds, makes this book essential for most collections.' - Library Journal (starred review)
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 don't 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.

A must read for all
A great, easy to understand book that is a must for everyone. Those who are autistic, those who think they are, and those who definitely aren't neurodivergent will get so much from this book. Totally enables compassion and understanding and appreciation of the brilliance and challenges of autism and neurodivergency.

Very Informative
This was so helpful on giving me the confidence to address my own struggles but also to talk to my girls about their traits of autism. It is presented in a way that helps you to understand the presentation of the traits rather than just understanding them in theory. Well worth a listen!

Changed my life
Thank you!!
This has changed my world. And makes me think that unmasking is possible.
I would like the actual book as I want to highlight passages and see the lists etc. It was a good Audio book and I am not sure I would have got through it all reading but having a hard copy would be a benefit.
Every autistic and parent of an autistic need to hear this.

INCREDIBLE! A must read for EVERYONE!
Devon you so eloquently explained the intricacies and nuances of being neurodiverse. As well as how we can all, including neurotypical individuals, help to create a society that is truly inclusive!
It helped to explain my life so much.
Thank you!

Affirming and Informative for those Late Diagnosed
As a late diagnosed Autistic, there were many moments in this book that were so relieving, relatable and affirming to hear. I have researched the topic extensively but there was still information and comfort to be found that I hadn't encountered before. It was intersectional, accessible and up-to-date. I highly recommend.
