'Devon Price is the most exciting, revolutionary voice in autism advocacy today.'-Fern Brady, comedian and author of Strong Female Character'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. 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 livingWith powerful insights and transformative resources, Unmasking for Life is a practical guide to living a fully realised Autistic life.
