REVIEW: Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity (nonfiction book) by Devon Price

Unmasking Autism is nonfiction. I bought my copy new.

Review:

Someone in my book club mentioned reading this, and from their brief description I assumed it was going to be about what autism can look like/how it can present, particularly in autistic individuals who mask. Instead, this was more of a self-help book for masked autistic people who'd like reassurance that their unmasked selves are worthy of love and acceptance and who'd like to take steps towards unmasking.

Once I adjusted to what this book actually was rather than what I'd thought it was, I found this to be a decent read, although I felt like it brushed off the reasons why one would spend so much time and energy masking a bit too easily.
