À propos de ce contenu audio

 A deep dive into the spectrum of Autistic experience and the phenomenon of masked Autism, giving individuals the tools to safely uncover their true selves while broadening society’s narrow understanding of neurodiversity

“A remarkable work that will stand at the forefront of the neurodiversity movement.”—Barry M. Prizant, PhD, CCC-SLP, author of Uniquely Human: A Different Way of Seeing Autism

For every visibly Autistic person you meet, there are countless “masked” Autistic people who pass as neurotypical. Masking is a common coping mechanism in which Autistic people hide their identifiably Autistic traits in order to fit in with societal norms, adopting a superficial personality at the expense of their mental health. This can include suppressing harmless stims, papering over communication challenges by presenting as unassuming and mild-mannered, and forcing themselves into situations that cause severe anxiety, all so they aren’t seen as needy or “odd.”

In Unmasking Autism, Dr. Devon Price shares his personal experience with masking and blends history, social science research, prescriptions, and personal profiles to tell a story of neurodivergence that has thus far been dominated by those on the outside looking in. For Dr. Price and many others, Autism is a deep source of uniqueness and beauty. Unfortunately, living in a neurotypical world means it can also be a source of incredible alienation and pain. Most masked Autistic individuals struggle for decades before discovering who they truly are. They are also more likely to be marginalized in terms of race, gender, sexual orientation, class, and other factors, which contributes to their suffering and invisibility. Dr. Price lays the groundwork for unmasking and offers exercises that encourage self-expression, including:

• Celebrating special interests
• Cultivating Autistic relationships
• Reframing Autistic stereotypes
• And rediscovering your values

It’s time to honor the needs, diversity, and unique strengths of Autistic people so that they no longer have to mask—and it’s time for greater public acceptance and accommodation of difference. In embracing neurodiversity, we can all reap the rewards of nonconformity and learn to live authentically, Autistic and neurotypical people alike.

    Commentaires

    “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. It provides a unique and revealing perspective on the sensory and social-cognitive experience of autism. It provides practical guidance and exercises for neurodivergent people to learn to be comfortable in their own skin and dramatically change their own lives, and it details the necessary changes that society needs to make to honor neurodiversity. This is a remarkable work that will stand at the forefront of the neurodiversity movement.”—Barry M. Prizant, PhD, CCC-SLP, Visiting Scholar, Brown University, author of Uniquely Human: A Different Way of Seeing Autism

    “Reading this felt like being at home—I didn’t realize how much I masked. What an incredible book that I know will be re-read many times over.”—Dr. Camilla Pang, author of An Outsider’s Guide to Humans

    “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

    What an amazing book !! And the privilege to hear it being read by its author is precious.
    The subject is super precise and of high level, yet the book is very accessible, even as a non english native speaker.
    A true gem, very much recommended 💫

    Brilliant

    Inner perspective on autism. It’s great to hear form the source. I really enjoyed knowing of active adults in the spectrum. It enriches the knowledge of the people living in the spectrum. Promoting tolerance and acceptance for everybody.

    Good insight

    The idea of "masking" is very important to understand one (hidden) autism, and this book could have been a very useful piece of work for autistic people. To be honest, it contains some good information about autistic traits and how people mask those traits and mask their needs. It even contains a strong and nuanced encouragement to "unmask" oneself.

    But...

    Alas...

    The interesting part of the book is absolutely annihilated by the author's political bias. One particularly toxic aspect of the book is the two-side treatment eating disorders get : of course, anorexia is treated with way more empathy than binge eating by the author, because "fat is beautiful" and obesity isn't killing people, but anorexia is lethal. It's pure biological denial, but there's no way such a bigot can handle his cognitive dissonance. Being kind and supportive to fat people is a good thing, lying to them as if obesity wasn't a lethal condition is scornful and patronizing.

    And, cherry on the cake, if you're a white hetero cisgender male, please pass your way because all the suffering you face while being autistic is NOTHING compared to the suffering other less "privileged" people. You get the drill : a left wing bigot is still a bigot.

    While listening to this, I sometimes felt as if the author was spitting in my face.

    A misleading title and a missed opportunity
